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]
