- EPPO Code: GNORAB
- Preferred name: Phthorimaea absoluta
- Authority: Meyrick
The species was originally described and named as Phthorimaea absoluta by Meyrick in 1917 based on samples collected in Peru. It underwent reclassification into different genera (Gnorimoschema (by Meyrick 1925), Scrobipalpula (by Povolný in 1967) and Scrobipalpuloides (by Povolný in 1993) until it was redescribed as Tuta absoluta in 1994 (Biondi et al., 2018). The classification of Tuta absoluta has historically been contested (Chang and Metz, 2021). Although it is commonly referred to as Tuta absoluta in literature, the name has been reinstated here as Phthorimaea absoluta based on recent morphological analysis of this species by Chang and Metz (2021).
