Acleris stadiana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario.[2]

The larvae feed on Alnus and Betula species (including Betula alleghaniensis, Betula papyrifera, Betula populifolia).[3]

Taxonomy

The species was formerly treated as a synonym of Acleris semiannula. Adults of these two species are superficially similar, but the taxa differ in genital structure.[4]
