Dichelopa phalaranthes is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae.[2][3] It is endemic to the Marquesas Archipelago in French Polynesia.[3][4] It is known from Hiva Oa (type locality: Kaava Ridge at 750 m (2,460 ft) above sea level[1]) and Nuku Hiva.[4]
The wingspan is 10–17 mm (0.39–0.67 in) for females.[1][4]
Subspecies
J. F. Gates Clarke described new specimens from Nuku Hiva in 1986 as a new subspecies, thus recognizing the following subspecies:[4][3]
- Dichelopa phalaranthes aporrhegma Clarke, 1986 (Marquesas Archipelago: Nuku Hiva)[4]
- Dichelopa phalaranthes phalaranthes (Marquesas Archipelago: Hiva Oa)
However, the World Catalogue of the Tortricidae (2018) does not recognize these subspecies, considering Dichelopa phalaranthes aporrhegma a synonym of Dichelopa phalaranthes.[2]
