Satronia is a New World genus of tortrix moths belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Grapholitini.[1] The genus was erected in 1926 by Carl Heinrich[2][3] and was previously considered monotypic.[4] Its type species is Satronia tantilla.[1][3]

Appearance

Józef Razowski and Vitor O. Becker (2016) described the genus as

characterized by a slender forewing, usually simple markings and the lack of a terminal row of dots on the forewing. There are usually some strigulae and dots in the subterminal fascia, and the costal half of the median fascia is well developed, often extending near the middle of the median cell posteriorly.
