| Synonyms | |
Cydia falsifalcellum is a moth of the family Tortricidae. [1] [3] It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907. It is endemic to the island of Hawaii. [4] [2] It is similar to Cydia parapteryx from Oahu and might even be conspecific. It is rare due to a lack of host plants. [4]
The larvae feed on Canavalia and Vicia , [3] possibly Vicia menziesii , and possibly on Strogylodon ruber . They feed on the seeds and stems and possibly the flowers of their host plant. [4]
