Exoteleia burkei, the Monterey pine shoot moth, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California. [1] [2]

The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The forewings are greyish brown with three white bands crossing the wing. These bands are edged with black.

The larvae feed on Pinus radiata , Pinus attenuata , Pinus coulteri and Pinus sabiniana . Young larvae mine the needles, while older larvae attack the developing shoots, but may also mine the buds and staminate cones. Full-grown larvae reach a length of 5–6 mm. They have a brownish-yellow body and black head. [3]
