The Lodgepole Pine [Pinus latifolia] is a Conifer. It is also an Evergreen. Some Conifers are deciduous so it is confusing to use deciduous and coniferous as comparisons.

Yes.. Larix decidua (The European Larch) is the best place to begin your research..

EDIT: Well, a larch isn't exactly a pine. Pines and larches are both gymnosperms, but are in different genera. I don't know of any pines that are completely deciduous, but pines sometime do shed a large percentage of their leaves at a specific time.
