Hedylepta asaphrombra (Meyrick, 1899) |
Omiodes asaphombra, sometimes called the ʻOhe Hedyleptan Moth, is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae endemic to Hawaiʻi.
This species has historically been collected on the islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, and Hawaiʻi. This species has only been reared from Joinvillea adscendens, and although it has been reported to be specific to this plant, it is likely that O. asaphombra is able to utilize another host plant [2]. It was listed as possibly extinct by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and as extinct by the IUCN and the Hawaiʻi Biological Survey.
