Phoenix dactylifera(PHXDA)

Pests

Organism Type
Carposina sasakii (CARSSA) Doubtful host
Listed as a host in 
* Cho SW, Park KT (1990) The systematics of Korean Carposinidae (Lepidoptera). Insecta Koreana 7, 87-103.

It may be a problem of translation as C. sasakii is reported as a pest of "Chinese date", which is not a palm but Jujube trees. 
e.g. Tung TC, Liu PL, Hwang KH (1964) Studies on the bionomics and control of the apple fruit borer, Carposina niponensis Walsingham, on Chinese date. Acta Phytophylacica Sinica 3(4): 361–370.

Not direct records of Phoenix dactylifera as host could be found.
