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]
Cydia is a large genus of tortrix moths, belonging to the tribe Grapholitini of subfamily Olethreutinae. Its distinctness from and delimitation versus the tribe's type genus Grapholita requires further study.
Crocidosema plebejana, the cotton tipworm, is a tortrix moth, belonging to tribe Eucosmini of subfamily Olethreutinae. It is found today all over the subtropical and tropical regions of the world and even occurs on many oceanic islands – in Polynesia and Saint Helena for example – but has probably been accidentally introduced to much of its current range by humans. In addition, it is also found in some cooler regions, e.g. in Europe except in the east and north; this is probably also not natural, as it was, for example, not recorded in the British Isles before 1900.
