The European pine shoot moth, <i>Rhyacionia buoliana</i> (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae), another introduced forest pest
Keywords:
European pine shoot moth, <i>Rhyacionia buoliana</i>, Lepidoptera, OlethreutidaeAbstract
The European pine shoot moth has been reported from Newfoundland and to Ontario, the northeastern U.S., Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, where it was first observed in 1927 near Victoria. Two years of intensive survey show that it is now present in the southwestern part of the province, on southern Vancouver Island and in the Lower Fraser and Okanagan valleys. Although the pest has only been recorded on ornamental trees in urban areas and on nursery stock, there is a serious risk that it may attack ponderosa and lodgepole pines in natural-growing stands. Five specific recommendations are made.References
