Chionodes retiniella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae first described by William Barnes and August Busck in 1920.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, British Columbia, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California.[2][3]
The wingspan is 18–21 mm. The forewings are white, heavily overlaid with light ocherous scales, which only leaves the white ground color exposed on a very diffused outwardly oblique fascia from the basal fourth of the costa to the basal third of the dorsum, on a similarly ill-defined transverse fascia across the middle of the wing and on a somewhat better defined transverse fascia at apical fourth. The hindwings are silvery fuscous.[4]
The larvae feed on Pinus ponderosa, Pinus sabiniana and Tsuga heterophylla.
