The genus Haritalodes Warren, 1890 is represented by 12 species worldwide except in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Haritalodes derogata (Fabricius, 1775), commonly known as the cotton leaf roller moth, is the most widely distributed species of the genus and is common in the West Palaearctic Region. This species is one of the most serious pests of Malvaceae. The larvae primarily feed on the leaves, and severe population levels may lead to significant yield loss in the primary host, cotton. In a survey in 2023, the shrubs of the Hibiscus sp. were found to be infested by a group of larvae with a very dense population feeding on the leaves in Trabzon Province, Türkiye. The larvae were reared for pupation and adult emergence. Morphological identification according to male and female genitalia as well as sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase region I (COI) from larvae and adults revealed that the species is H. derogata. This is the first report of the genus Haritalodes and Haritalodes derogata in Türkiye.
哈瑞苔蛾属（Warren，1890）在全球有12个物种，但在新北界和新热带界地区没有分布。棉卷叶野螟（Haritalodes derogata，Fabricius，1775），俗称棉卷叶蛾，是该属分布最广的物种，在西古北区很常见。该物种是锦葵科最严重的害虫之一。幼虫主要取食叶片，虫口密度大时可能导致主要寄主棉花大幅减产。在2023年的一项调查中，在土耳其特拉布宗省发现木槿属的灌木被一群幼虫侵害，这些幼虫大量取食叶片。将幼虫饲养至化蛹和羽化。根据雌雄生殖器进行形态鉴定以及对幼虫和成虫的线粒体细胞色素氧化酶区域I（COI）进行测序，结果表明该物种是棉卷叶野螟。这是土耳其首次报道哈瑞苔蛾属和棉卷叶野螟。
