Nine previously unrecognized species of Phaneta Stephens (Tortricidae) are described from western North America: P. browni, P. arenana, P. labiata, P. goblinana, P. cibolana, P. parvula, P. clementeana, P. baloghi, and P. vogelana. Reviewed are: Phaneta corculana (Zeller) and Phaneta mormonensis (Heinrich), which have male genitalia similar to those of P. browni and P. arenana; Phaneta indagatricana (Heinrich) and Phaneta misturana (Heinrich), due to similarity in forewing pattern with P. labiata and P. goblinana; Phaneta stramineana (Walsingham), Phaneta parvana (Walsingham), and Phaneta grindeliana (Busck), close relatives of P. clementeana; P. minimana (Walsingham), a species misidentified in North American collections for more than eighty years; and Phaneta latens (Heinrich), which is similar in male genitalia to P. labiata. Phaneta verecundana Blanchard is recognized as a synonym of P. indagatricana. Adults and genitalia are illustrated for each species.
