Erechthias flavistriata, the sugarcane bud moth, is a moth of the family Tineidae. It was described from Hawaii, but is probably an introduced species. It is found in large parts of the Pacific Rim including the Marquesas, Rapa Iti, Fiji, the New Hebrides, the Kermadec Islands, the Solomons, Java and Malaya. It has been spread widely by man and probably has travelled to many islands throughout much of thePacific in the canoes of the native peoples.
