One specimen in Bishop Museum and two in U. S. National Museum, Fullaway, 1911. This is a smaller moth than the preceding and is a leafroller on various grasses. We reared it from Panicum barbinode , Paspalum conjugatum , and Oplismenus compositus . This moth also has a wide distribution in the tropics: Africa, Asia, Japan , Borneo, Australia , Solomons, Fiji , Samoa , Society Islands, and Austral Islands, but not in Hawaii. Its work on grass was noted in 1911 by Fullaway, but its name was not determined.
