Lusterala is a monotypic, neotropical genus of tortix moths provisionally assigned to tribe Grapholitini of subfamily Olethreutinae, with Lusterala phaseolana as sole species.[2][1]
Genus and species were both described in 2007 by John Wesley Brown and Kenji Nishida.[2][1][3] The holotype is conserved at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.[1] Based on DNA barcoding, the genus is possibly a synonym of Ecdytolopha.[4]
Behaviour and distribution
Lusterala phaseolana is known from Costa Rica.[2][1] Its larvae are gall-inductive on the stems of their host plant, lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.).[2][5]
