Cactoblastis ronnai is a species of snout moth in the genus Cactoblastis. It was described by Juan Brèthes in 1920 and is known from Brazil.[1]
Taxonomy
The species has been reared from a spineless cactus species. It is probably a synonym of Cactoblastis cactorum, but the type specimen is lost, so the identity is unclear.[2]
