Pammene
Encyclopedia
The tortrix moth genus
Pammene belongs to the tribe
Grapholitini
of subfamily Olethreutinae
.
The synonymy of Pammene has been subject to some confusion with its close relatives Cydia
and Epinotia
: Eucelis, Orchemia and Trycheris are sometimes listed as junior synonyms of the former, and Halonota has been listed as synonym of the latter. But the type species
of Eucelis and Trycheris is Tortrix mediana (a junior synonym of P. aurana
), that of Orchemia is O. gallicana (a junior synonym of P. gallicana), and that of Halonota is Pyralis populana (a junior synonym of P. populana). Thus, Eucelis, Halonota, Orchemia and Trycheris are all junior subjective synonym of the present genus.
