Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
According to ITIS, four North American species formerly placed in Choristoneura are now placed in the genus Archips. These are:
Archips fractivittana (Broken-banded Leafroller)
Archips fumiferana (Spruce Budworm)
Archips pinus (Jack Pine Budworm)
According to All-Leps and almost every other source (based on Internet searches), these species are still in the genus Choristoneura, so they're being left here for now.
