TORTS (Troop of Reputed Tortricid Systematists)

TORTS (Troop of Reputed Tortricid Systematists) is an informal group open to anyone interested in tortricid moths. The idea was conceived by Dr. Jerry A. Powell at the University of California, Berkeley, with the goals of fostering greater cooperation and communication among tortricid workers worldwide, providing a forum for discussions, and encouraging the compilation of catalogues and databases of the names, food plants, and life histories of the most interesting family of Lepidoptera - Tortricidae. The TORTS Newsletter was first distributed in 2000 and is produced by Dr. John W. Brown at the Smithsonian. Two newsletters are produced per year (winter and summer). All of the TORTS Newsletters are available to download in PDF format below.
