Cydia gypsograpta
No full textCydia gypsograpta (Meyrick) Presumed extinct This species is known only from the male holotype supposedly collected by R.C.L. Perkins near Honolulu, Oʻahu in 1908 (Meyrick 1932; but see comments below). Oboyski (2011) found it difficult to distinguish from Canavalia -feeding Hawaiian Cydia.Published as part of Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55 on page 14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.815976

Spheterista pernitida
No full textSpheterista pernitida (Walsingham) Presumed extinct This species is known from a single female collected at Olaʻa on Hawaiʻi island in 1896 by Perkins (Walsingham 1907). However, in the absence of males, it is difficult to determine whether it belongs to Spheterista or another genus. If Spheterista, it likely fed on leaves or fruit of Cheirodendron or Polyscias (Araliaceae). The male mentioned by Walsingham (1907) as being “closely allied to pernitida ” is almost certainly not conspecific. The male genitalia closely resemble those of the Urticaceae-feeding “ Spheterista ” (“ S.” infaustana, “ S.” urerana).Published as part of Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55 on page 17, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.815976
Cydia crassicornis
No full textCydia crassicornis (Walsingham) Presumed extinct This species is known only from two males collected by R.C.L. Perkins in 1892 at 4000 ft near Kona, Hawaiʻi island (Walsingham 1907). Although possibly a color form of the koa-feeding C. walsinghamii (Butler), Oboyski (2011) considered it distinct based on subtle differences in the male genitalia. Perkins’ field notes for September 1892 indicates that he “collected … by sifting dead leaves at the foot of a big koa tree” (Evenhuis 2007). The forewings are very similar to C. conspicua (Walsingham), but the absence of a “sex pouch” (Zimmerman 1978) on the ventral surface of the male hindwing readily separates it from that species.Published as part of Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55 on page 14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.815976
Pararrhaptica dermatopa
No full text<i>Pararrhaptica dermatopa</i> (Meyrick) <p> <b>Presumed extinct</b></p> <p> This species was described from two males and a female reared from three different dates from <i>Myrsine lessertiana</i> (Primulaceae) by Swezey in 1911 on Mt. Olympus and Tantalus, Oʻahu. Meyrick (1932) wrote that a second, larger female from Mt. Olympus “may be the same species,” but we have not been able to locate this specimen.</p>Published as part of <i>Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55</i> on page 16, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8159762">10.5281/zenodo.8159762</a>
Pararrhaptica subsenescens
No full textPararrhaptica subsenescens (Walsingham) Presumed extinct This species is known from a single female collected by Perkins in 1893 on Molokaʻi (Walsingham 1907). No further locality data are given on the label, but the date (5 viii 1893) corresponds to a journal entry by Perkins from “near Waikolu” (Evenhuis 2007). We have collected in this general area and along the Hanalilolilo Trail but have not found this species. Like other Pararrhaptica, it likely fed on leaves and shoots of Myrsine spp. (Primulaceae).Published as part of Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.815976

Collecting by KAA at the type locality did not result in any specimens, despite the host plant’s presence in the immediate vicinity, and many island-wide surveys.</p>Published as part of <i>Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55</i> on page 16, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8159762">10.5281/zenodo.8159762</a>
Cydia obliqua
No full textCydia obliqua (Walsingham) Presumed extinct This species is known from three female specimens collected at Hualālai (5000 ft) and Kona (4000 ft) on Hawaiʻi island by R.C.L. Perkins in 1892. Oboyski (2011) considered it possibly just an extreme color form of the widespread and polymorphic C. plicatum (Walsingham), but refrained from synonymizing it because of significant differences in the female genitalia. The collection date given for the two female types from Hualālai (5 viii 1892) corresponds to a journal entry in which Perkins wrote, “there were two Tortricids on Koa” (Evenhuis 2007).Published as part of Austin, Kyhl A. & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2023, Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), pp. 11-27 in Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 55 on page 14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.815976
