Philedone is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.[1] It contains only one species, Philedone gerningana, the cinquefoil tortrix or cinquefoil twist, which is found in most of Europe (except Portugal and the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula) and the Near East,[2] east to eastern Russia. The habitat consists of heathlands.[3]

The wingspan is 12-17 mm.[4] Adults are on wing late June to August or September.[5]

The larvae feed on Lotus, Plantago, Scabiosa, Peucedanum, Potentilla and Vaccinium species, as well as Populus tremula and Abies alba. They feed from within spun leaves or flowers.
