Tortrix sinapina, the Japanese oak leafroller, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Russian Far East (Ussuri), China (Zhejiang) and Japan (Honshu, Hokkaido).
The wingspan is 18–25 mm.[2]
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]
