Phalonia grandis Busck, 1907: 23; McDunnough 1939: 60. [Incertae sedis] grandis: Powell 1983: 42. [ CochyliniNew Genus 4] grandis: Brown 2005: 208; Metzler and Brown 2014: 278. Honca grandiscan be distinguished from nearly all other North American Cochyliniby its large size (forewing length 11.0– 12.5 mm, mean = 11.8 mm, n = 5, in males; 11.5–13.0 mm, mean = 12.2 mm, n = 6, in females). The forewing pattern ( Fig. 8), which is similar to that of Henricus umbrabasana, features a cream ground color with a large pale reddish-brown triangular blotch occupying the middle of the hind margin, a narrow concolorous line along the basal 0.33 of the costa, and a concolorous dot near mid-costa. The hindwing is pale cream with pale graybrown mottling. The forewing pattern and the absence of a male forewing costal fold distinguish H. grandisfrom species of Phtheochroa, which also are among the largest North American Cochylina.
Honca grandisis rare in collections. The early stages are unknown. Captures extend from June through July, with a single record from August. The species is apparently restricted to montane habitats in the western United States, with specimens recorded from Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming(CSUC, USNM, EME, AMNH, MSC) at elevations between 6,400 and 7,400 feet. Holotype ♀, USA, Colorado, Jefferson Co., Golden, Chimney Gulch, 1 Jul 1904, Oslar( USNM).
