About Omiodes antidoxa
Omiodes antidoxa was among the endemic leafrollers reared in the Hawaiian parasitoid study.
Natural history and identification
Omiodes antidoxa was among the endemic leafrollers reared in the Hawaiian parasitoid study. Twelve of the 17 sampled caterpillars were parasitized, reported as 70.5%, the highest proportion among the five species compared. The small sample is important: it establishes exposure to parasitoids in the study, but cannot by itself define an island-wide population trend or a present-day extinction risk. The Kauaʻi records include the Alakaʻi area.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
Atlas occurrence category: Present. Kauaʻi records are documented from Alakaʻi Swamp in parasitoid-impact research.
Evidence limits
The cited observations describe the evidence currently available for this account. They do not establish a complete life history or a measured current Kauaʻi population trend.
