This study examined cross‐species amplification of 33 microsatellite markers, previously developed for Cydia pomonella , in three related fruit moth species of the same tribe (Grapholitini), namely Grapholita molesta , Grapholita funebrana and Grapholita lobarzewskii . Eight microsatellite loci yielded polymorphic products for G . molesta , nine for G . funebrana and 11 for G . lobarzewskii . At all these loci, the number of alleles ranged between four and 11 in G . molesta , and between four and nine in G . funebrana and G . lobarzewskii each. The successful cross‐amplified loci can be used for research on population genetics and gene flow of the three target species.
