Classification
| Family: | Tortricidae |
| Subfamily: | Olethreutinae |
| Genus: | Pammene |
| Species: | spiniana |
| Authority: | (Duponchel, [1843]) |
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and scrubland throughout much of England. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight distinctly uncommon, with just a handful of records in recent years. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Differs from P. populana by the white triangular medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing [Bradley], but given the species rarity, identification should be confirmed by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds on Hawthorn and Blackthorn, living between flowers and leaves spun together with silk.
The abundance in each month is indicated as follows:
No records
Very occasional
