Dioryctria rubella, the pine shoot moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus Dioryctria. It was described by George Hampson in 1891 and is known from south-east Asia, including China and the Philippines.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Pinus kesiya, Pinus merkusii, Pinus caribaea, Pinus taeda and Pinus massoniana.[2] They generally tunnel and feed inside the shoots of their host plant.[3] But also damage the branches and young cones.
