Acleris maculidorsana, the stained-back leafroller moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts , Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee , Virginia and Wisconsin.[2]
The wingspan is 15–18 mm. Adults are similar to Acleris inana and Acleris busckana, but are much grayer species than the former. From busckana it differs in having a dark lunate patch above the inner margin near the base of the wing, which is entirely pale gray.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing nearly year round.
The larvae feed on Chamaedaphne calyculata, Hypericum (including Hypericum perforatum), Kalmia and Vaccinium species.[4]
