Pammene amygdalana
species of insect
Pammene amygdalana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from Belgium and Germany to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Austria and Hungary and from France to Romania and Bulgaria.
The wingspan is 12–15 mm. Adults are on wing from April to August in one generation per year.
The larvae live as an inquiline in cynipid galls on various plant species, including Andricus kollari, Andricus conglomeratus, Andricus hungaricus, Andricus lucidus and Aphelonyx cerricola. They often consume the cynipid larva as well as gall tissue.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Pammene amygdalana” is species of insect. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Pammene, amygdalana and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of insect” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7129354. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
