Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Metasphaeroeca was established as an objective replacement name for Sphaeroeca Meyrick, 1895, a junior homonym. P. obscurana was first proposed as the name for a new species by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects 2: 175, but in both works the name is a nomen nudum. Listed under PAMMENE Hubner, [1825] 1816, Verz. bekannter Schmett. 378 in T@RTS: Online World Catalogue of the Tortricidae (Ver. 2.0) by Gilligan, T. M., J. Baixeras, J. W. Brown & K. R. Tuck. 2012.
