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 lambertiana

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've been left there for now.
