Piti, May 2, 8, 22, Sept. 1, 15; Talofofo, May 7; Agana, May 15, 25; Sasa, June 22; Mt. Alifan, June 19; Dededo, Sept. 7, all reared by Swezey, except a few taken at light. One specimen in Bishop Museum and two in U. S. National Museum, Fullaway, 1911.
This is a smaller moth than the preceding and is a leafroller on various grasses. We reared it from Panicum barbinode, Paspalum conjugatum, and Oplismenus compositus. This moth also has a wide distribution in the tropics: Africa, Asia, Japan, Borneo, Australia, Solomons, Fiji, Samoa, Society Islands, and Austral Islands, but not in Hawaii. Its work on grass was noted in 1911 by Fullaway, but its name was not determined.
