TL;DR: The larvae of two species of gelechiid moths were found feeding in the staminate cones of digger pine, Pinus sabiniana, along with the Xyela larvae.
Abstract: During life history investigations on Xyela minor Norton (Hymenoptera, Xyelidae), larvae of two species of gelechiid moths were found feeding in the staminate cones of digger pine, Pinus sabiniana, along with the Xyela larvae These moths are Exoteleia burkei Keifer (1931) and Chionodes sabinianae Powell (1959), the latter having been described from material collected during rhe course of our investigations Exoteleia and Chionodes are not closely related genera within the family Gelechiidae, and the two species are related in the present study only by larval habitat

TL;DR: The morphology and the chaetotaxy of the fifth instar larva, as well as the pupa are described and data is presented on the bionomics of this new gelechiid species, including feeding strategies and food-plant.
Abstract: G. E. KING, J. L. VIEJO MONTESINOS. 2012. Chionodes meridiochilensis sp. nov. from Chile: contribution to an understanding of its biology and description of its early stages (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). Acta zool. cracov., 55(1): 45-58. Abstract. Chionodes meridiochilensis sp. nov. is described from south central Chile from larvae collected in January 2011. In addition, the present paper describes the morphology and the chaetotaxy of the fifth instar larva, as well as the pupa. Data is also presented on the bionomics of this new gelechiid species, including feeding strategies and food-plant.
