Abstract
Nine new species of Tortricidae are described from the Hawaiian Islands: Bactra omoomoo, sp. nov. (Oʻahu), Eccoptocera kualii, sp. nov. (Oʻahu), Eccoptocera kukona, sp. nov. (Kauaʻi), Eccoptocera iwipookua, sp. nov. (Kauaʻi), Panaphelix nalowale, sp. nov. (Oʻahu), Panaphelix mapala, sp. nov. (Hawaiʻi), Panaphelix kikokea, sp. nov. (Maui), Pararrhaptica huihui, sp. nov. (Kauaʻi), and Spheterista hoihoi, sp. nov. (Kauaʻi). Unfortunately, Panaphelix nalowale has not been seen since its only collection 50 years ago and is probably extinct. With the possible exceptions of Bactra omoomoo and Panaphelix kikokea, all species are believed to be single-island endemics. In addition, Bactra iomolybda Meyrick, reinst. stat. (Hawaiʻi), is resurrected from synonymy of Bactra straminea (Butler) (Oʻahu) and redescribed. The conservation status for all species is discussed in the hopes of encouraging action on their behalf.
