Acleris variana, the eastern blackheaded budworm, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island and the north-eastern United States, across the coniferous forest region of Canada, presumably to Saskatchewan or eastern Alberta.[2]
The larvae mainly feed on Abies balsamea (Balsam Fir) and Picea glauca (White Spruce).
