A tortricid moth. Larvae bore into fruits; pupation occurs in soil or plant debris. Multivoltine in warm climates.

Fruit infestation (avocado, mango, citrus) causes rot, premature drop, and reduced market value. Larvae leave frass in fruits.

Native to Africa; present in Australia, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America.

Pheromone traps using C. batrachopa sex lures; fruit sampling for larval entry holes.

Sticky delta traps or wing traps with species-specific pheromone lures.
