    Pine Shoot Moths

    Retinia is a genus of tortricid moths in the subfamily Olethreutinae, commonly known as pine shoot moths. Species in this genus are associated with coniferous hosts, particularly pines (Pinus spp.). The genus has been studied in European forestry contexts for its role as a pest of young pine stands. Larval feeding damages shoot tips, affecting tree growth form.
