Synonyms: Hedylepta continuatalis

Wikipedia Abstract

Omiodes continuatalis is a species of moth in the Crambidae family. It is endemic to Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii. It was first cited as possibly extinct by Gagné & Howarth in 1982. It was listed as extinct by the Hawai‘i Biological Survey in 2002 and the IUCN in 2003, but was rediscovered later in 2003. The pupa is formed in a slight cocoon in the same place that the caterpillar used as a retreat. It is 13–15 mm long and very dark brown. The pupal period lasts 12–15 days.
