Dioryctria vancouverella

Dioryctria vancouverella is a species of snout moth in the genus Dioryctria. It was described by Mutuura, Munroe & Ross, in 1969, and is known from southern British Columbia, Canada. It is named for the city of Vancouver, from which the type specimen was collected.

The forewings are black and white with brownish-red scales in the basal, subbasal, medial and terminal areas. Adults are on wing from July to early August.

The larvae primarily feed on Pinus contorta var. contorta, but they have also been recorded on introduced Pinus mugho, Pinus nigra and Pinus radiata. They mainly feed on the buds of the host plant, but may possibly feed on shoots as well.
