Apotomis turbidana is a moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.[1]
It is native to the Palearctic.[2]
The wingspan is 19–23 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is grey and black in the basal part, with irregular white spots. Near the apex there is a wide white cross-band so that the wing tip seems almost pure white. The hindwings are grey-brown.
This species is found both in forests and on moors. The larvae feed on Betula spp. The adult butterflies fly in June–July.
