(Myrtaceae) are important to be recorded because multiple species from this plant genus ubiquitously planted in forest plantations across the tropics, including Sumatra, Indonesia. The objective study was record, for first time, a closest avocado leafroller, Homona spargotis Meyrick, 1910 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) on grandis W. Hill × pellita F. Muell. hybrid Sumatra with insect identification performed via molecular analysis. used protocol able identify similar, yet distinct H. through analysis its larvae, which defines geographical distribution and identified host (i.e., E. pellita) insect.
