Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: westerlandi Donahue & Neunzig, 2005 (Dioryctria)   Type locality: Holotype: California, [Sierra Nevada Range], Placer Co., Ward Creek, 2 mi. S Tahoe City. Taxonomic Notes: Dioryctria westerlandi Donahue & Neunzig, 2005, n. sp., Holarctic Lepidoptera, 10(1-2): 33; figs. 1, 3-5. Although Donahue & Neunzig (2005) was published subsequent to Neunzig (2003), the use of this name in the latter is unavailable for not complying with ICZN Articles 16.1 and 72.3 and is therefore nomen nudum (Alma Solis, pers. comm., 2024).
