Cydia crassicornis is a moth of the family Tortricidae. [1] [2] It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907. [1] [2] [3] It is endemic to the island of Hawaii. [2] [3] [4]

Cydia crassicornis is similar to Cydia walsinghamii and might even be conspecific. It is known from two males collected in 1892 at 1,200 m (4,000 ft) altitude near Kona. It is presumed extinct. The larvae possibly used Acacia koa as the host. [2]
