Cydia latifemoris is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.[1][2] It is endemic to the Hawaiian islands of Maui and, possibly, Hawaii.[3][4] While it is locally common on Maui, only the male paratype is known from Hawaii. Whether the latter record is reliable is an open question.[4]
The larvae feed on Sophora chrysophylla,[2][4] preying heavily on their seeds[3] and possibly also terminal twigs.[4]
