Dioryctria taedivorella, the lesser loblolly pineconeworm moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus Dioryctria . It was described by Herbert H. Neunzig and Nancy Antoine Leidy in 1989, and is known from North America, where it is found from eastern Virginia and North Carolina to northern Alabama and Mississippi. [2]
The larvae feed on Pinus taeda (loblolly pine). [3]
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 and Maria Alma Solis retain the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
The Phycitinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Even though the Pyralidae subfamilies are all quite diverse, Phycitinae stand out even by standards of their family: with over 600 genera considered valid and more than 4000 species placed here at present, they unite up more than three-quarters of living snout moth diversity. Together with the closely related Epipaschiinae, they are apparently the most advanced lineage of snout moths.
