Cydia obliqua is a moth of the family Tortricidae.[1][3] It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.[1][2][3] It is endemic to the island of Hawaii.[3]
Cydia obliqua is known only from three females collected in 1892 at altitudes of 1,200–1,500 m (4,000–5,000 ft) near Kona and Hualālai. It might possibly be just a form of Cydia plicatum. It is presumed extinct. The larvae possibly used Acacia koa or Sophora chrysophylla as the host.[3]
