| Aphelia peramplana vallettai Hübner, 1825 |
| Taxonomical Classification: Animalia / Arthropoda / Insecta / Lepidoptera / Tortricidae |
 English name not known  Maltese name not known |
| Further Information: Locally, larvae normally feed on Urginea pancration (Urginea maritima / Drimia maritima), scraping the outer leaf layer and constructing a silken retreat between leaves, in which it pupates. The species in Malta was found to differ from the typical form and consequently the subspecies vallettai was described - the epithet given to a Maltese lepidopterist named A. Valletta. (N.b. in this case the epithet is after the surname not the capital city of Malta!) |
