Epinotia abbreviana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe and was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794.[1]
The wingspan is 13-15 mm. The palpi are whitish, grey towards the tips. The forewings vary from white to ochreous, sometimes with dark fuscous strigulae. The costa has dark fuscous and pale or white strigulae. The edge of the basal patch is angulated in the middle. The central fascia is dilated dorsally, and there is an irregular spot before the termen in middle. This is usually more or less ochreous and much striated or suffused with dark fuscous, in ochreous specimens it is sometimes obsolete. The apical area is ochreous. The margins of the ocellus and sometimes two streaks from the costa are posteriorly leaden-metallic. The hindwings are grey. The larva is pale greenish or yellowish, more brownish above; head and plate of 2 black.[2]
