Ptycholoma lecheana, the Leche's twist moth,[2] is a moth of the Tortricidae family . It is found in Europe, China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hunan), Korea, Japan, Russia (Amur, Ussuri) and Asia Minor.[3]

The wingspan is 16–20 mm. The moth flies from late May to early June in China and to July in western Europe.

The larvae feed on various trees and shrubs, including Acer, Betula, Crataegus pinnatifida, Fagus, Larix leptolepis, Populus, Prunus padus, Pyrus, Quercus, Salix koreensis, Sorbus, Tilia and Ulmus species.
