The tortrix moth, genus Pammene, belongs to the tribe Grapholitini of the subfamily Olethreutinae.[1]

89 species are currently recognized in Pammene:[2]

Obsolete scientific names (junior synonyms and others) of Pammene are:[3]

Encelis (lapsus) Eucelis Hübner, [1825] Encells (lapsus) Halonota Stephens, 1852 Hemene (lapsus) Hemerosia Stephens, 1852 Hemimene Hübner, 1825 Heusimene Stephens, 1834 Metasphaeroeca Fernald, 1908 Orchemia Guenée, 1845 Palla Billberg, 1820 (non Hübner, 1819: preoccupied) Pamene (lapsus) Pammena (lapsus) Phthoroblastis Lederer, 1859 Psudotomia Stephens, 1829 Pyrodes Guenée, 1845 (non Audinet-Serville, 1832: preoccupied) Sphaeroeca Meyrick, 1895 (non Lauterborn, 1894: preoccupied) Trycheris Guenée, 1845

The synonymy of Pammene has been subject to some confusion with its close relatives Cydia and Epinotia: Eucelis, Orchemia and Trycheris are sometimes[4] listed as junior synonyms of the former, and Halonota has been listed[5] 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.[1]
