Tortrix sinapina, the Japanese oak leafroller, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in the Russian Far East (Ussuri), China (Zhejiang) and Japan (Honshu, Hokkaido).
The larvae feed on Quercus mongolica, Quercus dentata, Lespedeza bicolor, Tilia japonica and Sorbus alnifolia.[3] They roll the leaves of their host plant, creating a cigar-shaped shelter from which they feed. The larvae are green or whitish-green with a black head. The species overwinters as an egg.[4]
