Abstract

The larvae of Neocalyptis affinisana (Walker, 1863) (Tortricidae), Simplicia discosticta (Hampson, 1912), and Progonia oileusalis (Walker, 1859) (Erebidae) were collected from dead leaves remaining on trees on Miyako Island, Okinawa, Japan in early spring. The larvae and host plants of N. affinisana and S. discosticta are reported and the larvae of P. oileusalis are illustrated for the first time.
