Argyroploce chlorosaris is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. This species is endemic to New Zealand. The classification of this moth within the genus Argyroploce is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision. As such this species is currently also known as Argyroploce (s.l.) chlorosaris.

It is the 425th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Argyroploce chlorosaris in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in January–June and August–November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Argyroploce chlorosaris is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (10 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
