Crocidosema lantana Busck, 1910 View in CoL ; Proc. ent. Soc. Wash. 10: 132.

= Epinotia corynetes Diakonoff, 1982 View in CoL ; Zool. Verh. Leiden 193: 59.

TL: Oahu, Tantalus [Hawaiian Islands] ( lantana ); Sri Lanka, Ratnapura District, Uggalkaltota ( corynetes ).

Distribution: India (Uttarakhand). Described from Hawaii based on specimens introduced from Mexico for the biological control of weedy Lantana , Crocidosema lantana subsequently was introduced to Australia. Based on DNA barcodes, it is now present in Australia, Caroline Islands, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Kenya, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan ( Zhang & Li 2005; Koçak & Kemal 2012); it is also recorded from southern U.S.A.

Hosts: Larvae have been reported to feed on Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) , Litchi chinensis (Sapindaceae) , Tabebuia chrysantha (Bignoniaceae) , and Tecoma stans (Bignoniaceae) ( Busck 1910; MacKay 1959; Common 1957; Zimmerman 1978).
