Piletocera xanthosoma is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is found on Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
Larvae have been recorded feeding on Zingiber officinale produce. However, it is an accidental contaminant rather than a pest of the crop. Females have been recorded as laying eggs on exposed produce in lighted dock sheds.[1]
