Dioryctria cambiicola, the western pine moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus Dioryctria . It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914 and is found in North America from British Columbia and Alberta south to California and New Mexico.
The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
Dioryctria is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1846.
Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. was an American entomologist.
The forewings are reddish brown, while the hindwings are dusky brown.
The larvae feed on Pinus ponderosa and Pinus contorta . They bore in the cambium under the bark and occasionally in twigs, buds and at the base of cones. [2]
Pinus ponderosa, commonly known as the ponderosa pine, bull pine, blackjack pine, or western yellow-pine, is a very large pine tree species of variable habitat native to the western United States and Canada. It is the most widely distributed pine species in North America.
Pinus contorta, with the common names lodgepole pine and shore pine, and also known as twisted pine, and contorta pine, is a common tree in western North America. It is common near the ocean shore and in dry montane forests to the subalpine, but is rare in lowland rain forests. Like all pines, it is an evergreen conifer.
Dioryctria auranticella, the ponderosa pineconeworm moth, is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae. It is found in western North America from southern British Columbia south to California and Arizona, east to South Dakota and New Mexico.

Dioryctria reniculelloides, the spruce coneworm, is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae. It is found from Nova Scotia to Alaska, south in the east to New York, and south in the west to California and New Mexico. It was recorded from China in 2009. Occasionally abundant, often in conjunction with epidemics of the spruce budworm, the spruce coneworm occurs through most or all of the range of spruce in North America, feeding on new foliage and cones of spruce, and often balsam fir. When abundant, it can be a serious pest "particularly on white spruce".
