Presumed extinct

This species is known from a single female collected by Perkins in 1893 on Molokaʻi ( Walsingham 1907). No further locality data are given on the label, but the date (5 viii 1893) corresponds to a journal entry by Perkins from “near Waikolu” ( Evenhuis 2007). We have collected in this general area and along the Hanalilolilo Trail but have not found this species. Like other Pararrhaptica , it likely fed on leaves and shoots of Myrsine spp. (Primulaceae) .
