Lobesia aeolopa is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Vietnam,[1] Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Java, the Solomon Islands, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, São Tomé & Principe, Tanzania, South Africa, La Réunion and Madagascar.[2]

The wingspan is 10–12 mm.[3]

Larvae have been found on Lantana camara, Cajanus indicus, Gleditschia triacanthos and Flacourtia ramountchi, but are possibly predatory on aphids, rather than feeding on plant tissue.[4]
