Overview
Epiblema inulivora is a moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1932.
Epiblema inulivora is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized coastal dune and sandy grassland environments. The species' dependence on specific host plants makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in vegetation composition and land use conversion.
