Chionodes retiniella

Chionodes retiniella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, British Columbia, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

The wingspan is 18–21 mm. The forewings are white, heavily overlaid with light ochreous scales, which only leaves the white ground colour exposed on a very diffused outwardly oblique fascia from the basal fourth of the costa to the basal third of the dorsum, on a similarly ill-defined transverse fascia across the middle of the wing and on a somewhat better defined transverse fascia at apical fourth. The hindwings are silvery fuscous.

The larvae feed on Pinus ponderosa, Pinus sabiniana and Tsuga heterophylla.
