Philodoria is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae. All species are endemic to Hawaii. It was first described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.[1]
Life history[]
The larvae mine the leaves of many kinds of broad-leaved plants.[1] Some of the species pupate within the larval mines, but others emerge from their mines to pupate.
