Holotype ♂, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park , Hawaii ( Big Island ), 25.iv.2016 , A. Kawakita leg., host: Myrsine lessertiana (understory shrub), Gen-Bank accession no. MF804825 , IO-322, SK 851 in BPBM . The type series was mounted from emerged adult moths.

Among Philodoria species having similar fuscous forewing coloration (i.e., P. epibathra (Walsingham) , P. nigrella (Walsingham) P. pipturiana Swezey , and P. wilkesiella Swezey (See Zimmerman 1978a )) , P. kolea is distinguished by the white and bronze color bands on the forewing ( Fig. 7F ). The forewing pattern and genitalia are similar to those of other Myrsine mining species, P. auromagnifica and P. succedanea , but P. kolea completely lacks the orange markings ( Fig. 7F ). Adult ( Fig. 7F , 34B, C , 35 ). Wingspan 6.7 mm in holotype , 6.6, 8.5 mm in paratypes . Male genitalia ( Figs. 41D , 42D , 43D ) and Female genitalia ( Fig. 56F ). See also Kobayashi et al .
