Cydia latifemoris

Cydia latifemoris is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.^[1][2] It is endemic to the Hawaiian islands of Maui and, possibly, Hawaii.^[3][4] While it is locally common on Maui, only the male paratype is known from Hawaii. Whether the latter record is reliable is an open question.^[4]
