A New Threat to Conifer Cones: Cydia kamijoi (Oku, 1968) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae), a New Record for China, Based on Morphological and DNA Barcoding Analyses

<i>Cydia kamijoi</i> (Oku, 1968) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) is a pest of conifer cones. It was first found in Hokkaido, Japan and was considered to be an endemic species of Hokkaido, which was rarely reported. Here, we report <i>C. kamijoi</i> in China for the first time, whose larvae feed on <i>Pinus koraiensis</i> pine cones. Descriptions of the larval and adult morphology of C. kamijoi, along with the COI DNA barcoding data available and the phylogenetic analysis are provided for this species for the first time. The emergence of <i>C. kamijoi</i> has severely threatened the health of <i>P. koraiensis</i> cones. This work may have important implications for the pest control of <i>P. koraiensis</i> cones in Northeast China.
