Archips goyerana, the baldcypress leafroller, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.

Distribution

It is known from southern Louisiana and south-western Mississippi. It originally may have been endemic to forested wetlands, but has undergone a population explosion and expansion of its range since 1983.

Description

The length of the forewings is 6.8–8.5 mm for males and 8–10 mm for females.

Biology

The larvae feed on Taxodium distichum and are considered a serious pest of that tree species.

Etymology

The species is named for Richard A. Goyer of the Department of Entomology, Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He collected the holotype as well as most of the paratypes, and is responsible for the majority of the research on the biology and ecology of the species.
