Pammene obscurana is a moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by James Francis Stephens in 1834.[1]
It is native to the Palearctic.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewing has a square, brownish-white spot with a brown centre strip at the dorsal edge, otherwise no clear marks. The hindwings are light grey-brown. Meyrick describes it - Forewings rather dark fuscous ; some pairs of indistinct pale costal strigulae ; a subquadrate spot on middle of dorsum formed of three ill-defined whitish strigulae ; ocellus obscurely edged with dull leaden-metallic. Hindwings rather dark fuscous.[2]
The adults fly in May-June.
The larvae feed on Betula spp.
