摘要
There currently is considerable confusion regarding the correct application of the name Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). This name has historically been applied to the western spruce budworm, a serious forest pest in western North America. However, in 2008 Razowski transferred the African species Archips occidentalis (Walsingham) to Choristoneura Lederer and proposed C. freemani Razowski as a replacement name for the western spruce budworm. The validity of these nomenclatural changes and alternative solutions to resolve the confusion they have caused are discussed. Illustrations of wing patterns and genitalia for the two species are provided.
