Diagnosis. Philodoria succedanea is very similar to P. auromagnifica. Both species feed on Myrsine, but the former is distinguished by the bright orange patches and black triangular shaped bp in the forewing (Fig. 7A, B); the male genitalia which has broad valva, slender and long saccus curving toward dorsal margin (Figs. 41A, 42A); the female genitalia which has signa with slender and long spines (Fig. 56A, B) (Kobayashi et al. 2018).

Adult (Fig. 7A, B, 26A, 34A). Wingspan 9–10 mm in type series. Male genitalia (Figs. 39A, 41A, 42A, 43A) and Female genitalia (Fig. 56A, B). See also Kobayashi et al. (2018).

Distribution. Kauai, Oahu, and Lanai: (Kobayashi et al. 2018), Maui (Walsingham 1907) and Molokai and Hawaii (Big Island) (Zimmerman 1978a).

Host plants. Primulaceae: Myrsine lessertiana A. DC. and M. sandwicensis A. DC. (Johns et al. 2016), M. linearifolia Hosaka and M. knudsenii (Rock) Hosaka (Kobayashi et al. 2018), Myrsine sp. (Zimmerman 1978a).

Biology. (Fig. 79A–D, F, G) Kobayashi et al. (2018: 123, 126, Figs. 8A, 9, 14A) reported leaf mine, pupal cocoon and resting posture of the adult.
