Presumed extinct

This species was described from a single male specimen reared from Myrsine lessertiana (Primulaceae) by Swezey in 1911 from Mt. Olympus, Oʻahu. Perkins collected a small series of what appear to be this species in 1901 and 1908 from

various locations in the Koʻolau Mountains. The associated females appear very similar to the holotype of P. capucina (Walsingham) , known from Molokaʻi. It appears likely that these two species were closely-related. A similar, undescribed speciesoccursonKauaʻiandisstillextant.
