Cochylis dubitana, the little conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Heilongjiang) and most of Europe.[3] It is also found in North America, where it has been recorded from Colorado, Maine, Ontario and Washington.[4]
The wingspan is 11–16 mm.[5] There are two generations per year with adults on wing in June and again in August.
The larvae feed inside the flowers and developing seedheads of various Asteraceae species, including Senecio, Crepis and Hieracium species and Sonchus arvensis and Solidago virgaurea. Larvae can be found in July and from August to April. They overwinter in a cocoon among debris. Pupation takes place from April to July in a cocoon on the ground among debris.[6]
