About Leucania stenographa
Leucania stenographa is a member of Noctuidae in the order Lepidoptera. Its recorded origin status on Kauaʻi is introduced.
Leucania stenographa is an introduced noctuid moth documented from Kauaʻi. Older Hawaiian literature uses the name Leucania loreyimima; the current corrected name should be used while retaining the older name for search.
Kauaʻi occurrence evidence: Austin & Rubinoff (2022) repeat Kauaʻi records under Leucania loreyimima; Austin & Rubinoff (2024) correct that name to Leucania stenographa.
The cited occurrence evidence does not by itself establish current abundance or population trend on Kauaʻi.
