Eana osseana, common name dotted shade, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.

Description

[edit]

Eana osseana has a wingspan reaching 16–23 millimetres (0.63–0.91 in). The basic coloration is pale brown, with a few obscure brown markings.Meyrick describes it - Forewings very elongate, costa almost straight, termen slightly sinuate brownish-ochreous, sometimes ferruginous-tinged, seldom whitish- ochreous ; an irregular spot in disc before and another beyond middle, and a triangular apical patch fuscous, often indistinct or sometimes obsolete. Hindwings grey.[2]

Adults fly from June to August and they are attracted to light. The larvae live within a silken tube. They are polyphagous, feeding on many herbaceous plants, grasses and mosses.

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

This species is widespread in most of Europe, in the East Palearctic realm and in the Nearctic realm. It prefers grassland, downland and moorland.
