Key to Hawaiian leaf mining moths including Philodoria View in CoL
1. Tentiform mine.................................................................................................... Cremastobombycia lantanella Busck View in CoL ¶ ( Gracillariidae View in CoL , Lithocolletinae View in CoL ), all Hawaii islands, host: Lantana View in CoL spp.
- Short, tortuous linear, spiral mine, about ~ 30 mm length...................................................... 2
- Long (tortuous) linear or blotch mine..................................................................... 3
2. Mature larva (3rd~ instar) is external feeding, nibbling the leaf tissue and skeletonizing it.. Bucculatrix thurberiella Busck View in CoL ¶ ( Bucculatricidae View in CoL ), Oahu, host: Gossypium tomentosum View in CoL (endemic Hawaiian cotton).
- Mature larva is leaf-mining, and mines leaf tissue forming several blotch mine............................................ Bedellia Stainton (Bedelliidae) View in CoL , all Hawaiian Islands, host: Convolvulaceae View in CoL , Liliaceae View in CoL , Poaceae View in CoL , Urticaceae View in CoL . Hawaiian Bedellia View in CoL include many unnamed species ¶.
3. First instar larva is sap-feeding, forming whitish linear mine................................................... 4
- Larva tissue-feeding, forming linear or serpentine to blotch mines; cocoon usually situated outside of mine......................................................................... Philodoria Walsingham View in CoL ( Gracillariidae View in CoL , Ornixolinae View in CoL )
4. Cocoon situated outside of mine, usually on surface of leaf.................................................... 5
- Cocoon situated within end of mine, larvae mining leaves of Rutaceae View in CoL ( Citrus View in CoL spp.)................................................................................... Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton View in CoL ( Gracillariidae View in CoL , Phyllocnistinae View in CoL )
5. Late instar larva tissue feeding, cones created by rolling leaf.................................... Caloptilia View in CoL H̹bner ¶
- On Diospyros hillebrandii View in CoL and D. sandwicensis (Ebenaceae) View in CoL , Oahu.................... C. mabaella (Swezey) View in CoL ( Fig. 73D View FIGURE 73 )
- On Myrica faya (Myricaceae) View in CoL , Hawaii (Big Island)............... Caloptilia View in CoL sp. nr. schinella † (= coruscans (Walsingham))
- Late instar larva tissue feeder in blotch mine elongated along the leaf edge; the leaf edge at the blotch is narrowly folded down; on Terminalia catappa (Combretaceae) View in CoL , Oahu.................................................... Ketapangia View in CoL sp.
* This key, where only mines and/or cocoons have been examined, but not larvae or adults, can serve only as a partial aid to determination.
