About Omiodes monogramma
Omiodes monogramma is a native leafroller included in the Hawaiian parasitoid study that sampled Kauaʻi.
Natural history and identification
Omiodes monogramma is a native leafroller included in the Hawaiian parasitoid study that sampled Kauaʻi. The researchers observed parasitism in 9.8% of 81 collected caterpillars across their species sample, substantially lower than in several other Omiodes sampled. This is evidence about collected larvae in 2004–2008, not a current island-wide mortality rate. Its caterpillar feeding record on Dianella belongs to the immature stage and should not be described as adult feeding.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
Atlas occurrence category: Present. Larvae are documented feeding on Dianella odorata; Alakaʻi Swamp records support Kauaʻi occurrence.
