Status: Migrant
Notes:
Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland in south-eastern England. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread, but thinly distributed throughout much of the county, remaining very uncommon on the Island. Wingspan 28-35 mm. The genus Dioryctria contains four closely related species in Britain, which require close examination to separate: in D. sylvestrella the subterminal line is generally smooth with a single waved kink its mid-point, in the other three species this line is dentate from the mid-point to the dorsum. Larva feeds on Scots Pine, Maritime Pine and Corsican Pine.
