The genus pammene Hübner, [1825] is one of the genera related to Grapholita Treitschke, 1829, belonging to the tribe Grapholitini of the subfamily Olethreutinae (Bae & Park, 1998). The genus is mostly distributed in the Holarctic region, with about 100 species in the world. Danilevsky & Kuznetzov (1968) divided the genus into the two subgenera, Pammene and Eucelis. Komai (1999) discussed the phylogenetic position within the tribe. Since Park (1983) reported one species of the genus for the first time from Korea, they are mainly studied by Byun & Park (1993), Byun et al. (1998) and Bae & Park (1998). Up to date nine species have been reported from the Korea by Bae and park (1998). In this study, Pammene gallicolana Lienig & Zeller, 1846 is report for the first time from Korea. This species resembles with Pammene ignorata superficially, but P. gallicolana is easily distinguished from the latter by following characters: dorsal patch much larger, basal cavity much bigger, and apophysis posterior longer than P. ignorata, respectively. Morphological characters of this species are redescribed with illustrations of genitalia.
