Cochylichroa hospes, the banded sunflower moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from North Carolina to Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and northern Arizona.[2]
The length of the forewings is 5.5–8 mm. Adults are golden ochreous with broad, dark brown to rust brown medial fascia and a subapical blotch containing iridescent grey patches. Adults are on wing from July to August.
The larvae feed on developing seeds in flower heads of Helianthus species. The species overwinters as a last instar larva.
Cochylichroa hospes was formerly a member of the genus Cochylis, but was moved to the redefined genus Cochylichroa in 2019 as a result of phylogenetic analysis.[3][4][5]
