“ Spheterista View in CoL ” cassia (Swezey)
Presumed extinct
This species may have been introduced. It does not belong in Spheterista and more closely resembles some Australian tortricids, such as Merophyas Common , than any native Hawaiian species. It has been reared from leaves of Senna gaudachaudii (Fabaceae) , an indigenous species that also occurs in Australia and other islands in the Pacific. There are large series of this species in HDOA and BPBM, suggesting it was once common on several islands. It has not been collected since 1920; we have not encountered its host plant in the wild.
