Selania capparidana
# Selania capparidana

Selania capparidana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847 and is found in Europe.

## Description

The wingspan is 9–10 mm.

The larvae feed on the caper bush (Capparis spinosa), mining the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a full-depth corridor, which later becomes more blotch-like. A single larva makes several mines. Larvae of the summer generation feed in the shoots, buds and fruits of their host plant. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.

## Distribution

The moth is found in the Balearic Islands, Spain, Sardinia, Italy and Greece.
