Comments: The <i>Pammene obscurana</i> group contains <i>P. obscurana, perstructana</i> and <i>clanculana</i>. Dissection is required, see Miller (1990:288). <i>Obscurana</i> and <i>clanculana</i> are currently listed as Palearctic but based on BOLD BIN groups it would appear all three may be found in southern QC and ON. Moth Photographers Group treats all specimens in <i>obscurana</i> group found in North America as<i> perstructana</i> pending further study.
Taxonomy Notes: Pammene perstructana (Walker, 1863) includes as a synonym 3420 Pammene signifera (Heinrich, 1926), Great Lakes Entomologist, 18(4): 145-147.
