Pararrhaptica dermatopa

Description

Pararrhaptica dermatopa (Meyrick)

Presumed extinct

This species was described from two males and a female reared from three different dates from Myrsine lessertiana (Primulaceae) by Swezey in 1911 on Mt. Olympus and Tantalus, Oʻahu. Meyrick (1932) wrote that a second, larger female from Mt. Olympus “may be the same species,” but we have not been able to locate this specimen.
