Compsolechia mangelivora is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1897. It is found in the West Indies, where it has been recorded from St. Thomas [1] and Puerto Rico.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are greyish fuscous, with profuse hoary speckling and a dark fuscous elongate spot on the costa before the middle, which is preceded and followed by some hoary whitish scaling, of which there is also a slight patch at the commencement of the costal cilia. The hindwings are brownish grey.

The larvae feed on Rhizophora mangel . [2]

The Hawaiian hoary bat, also known as ʻōpeʻapeʻa, is a species of bat endemic to the islands of Hawaiʻi. Whereas the mainland hoary bat is found throughout North America, the Hawaiian hoary bat is distributed only among the major volcanic islands of Hawaiʻi, making it the only extant and native terrestrial mammal in the state; although some studies also posit that the mainland hoary bat lives in sympatry on the Hawaiian Islands alongside the Hawaiian hoary bat, this has been disputed. The Hawaiian hoary bat was officially named the state land mammal of Hawaiʻi in 2015. It is a federally listed endangered taxon of the United States.
