Yepishin, deposited in the Institute for Evolutionary Ecology (Kyiv) and the private collection of the first author. Adults were collected near artificial light sources from mid-December to February in the southern vicinity of Kula village (Figs 4–5). Nearby, we observed the possible food plant of the caterpillars, Erythrina sandwicensis O.Deg. ( Fabaceae) cited by Zimmerman (1958: 108 (as E. monosperma Gaudich.)) as the principal and native hostplant.</p><p>Adult (Figs 1, 2): wingspan 23–26mm, sexual dimorphism is not expressed, the female antenna is slightly thinner than in the male, other head structures are the same in both sexes (Figs 3a, b).</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 6a–e, 7): uncus very long, thin, uncus base subtrapezoidal, expanded at apex, densely covered with short setae; tegumen about 1.7× shorter than uncus; valva large, blade-like expanded, rounded protrusion on costal edge, base of costa slightly sclerotized, cucullus not sclerotized; almost in middle of valva a transverse sclerotized lintel bears triangular-shaped fibula with an apical tooth adjacent to sacculus and directed towards valva; coremata or “hair tuft” very wide, not longer than the valva (not figured); sacculus 2× shorter than valva, sclerotized; juxta flat oblong with constriction in middle, slightly bifurcated distally; vinculum subtriangular; phallus cylindrical, fusiform, oblong 1.2× shorter than valva with one thin, long cornutus 1.6× shorter than phallus.</p><p>Female genitalia (Fig. 8): papillae anales narrow, subrectangular, covered with short setae; posterior and anterior apophyses almost straight, slightly curved at base; anterior apophyses 2× longer than posterior ones; segment VIII same length as posterior apophyses, posterior margin equal, anterior margin of sternum VIII with wide V-shaped emargination; antrum not pronounced, cylindrical slightly expanded; colliculum cylindrical strongly sclerotized; ductus seminalis thin, departing near colliculum; ductus bursae long, thin, about 3× longer than corpus bursae, signa absent.</p><p>Distribution: endemic to Hawaii; Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai Islands (Zimmerman 1958; iNaturalist 2024).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/302F4D56FFF2FFA6729F76BBE878AA66	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
