Abstract
Rhyacionia spp. moths (Lepidoptera : Olethreutidae) are common pests of young pines in the Southeastern United States. Although the Nantucket pine tip moth, R. frustrana (Comstock) is usually the most prevalent species, it is often associated with the pitch pine tip moth, R. rigidana (Fernald)1,2. No previous studies have provided information on mechanisms which isolate these two species.
