Pammene ochsenheimeriana is a moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Friederike Lienig and Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1846.[1]
It is native to Europe.[2] and across the Palearctic.
The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The face and palpi are dark fuscous, whitish-sprinkled. The forewings are dark fuscous, somewhat sprinkled finely with grey-whitish. The costa is posteriorly strigulated with silvery-white. The edge of the basal patch and a narrow angulated central fascia are darker, edged with silvery-metallic. There are some silvery metallic marks towards apex and termen. The hindwings are fuscous.
They fly in May and June. The larvae feed on Picea abies , Abies alba and Pinus sylvestris, eating the top shoots.
