Philodoria costalis is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It was first described by Otto Herman Swezey in 1934. It is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

The larvae feed on Pipturus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The larvae emerge from the mine to form an oval brown cocoon on the surface of the leaves.

Trissodoris honorariella, the pandanus leaf perforator or pandanus hole-cutter moth, is a small cosmet moth species. It belongs to subfamily Cosmopteriginae and is the type species of the genus Trissodoris. Baron Thomas Walsingham in 1907 had specimens from both ends of the species' range – New Guinea and Pitcairn Island – which he described as separate species Stagmatophora honorariella and S. quadrifasciata in the same work. But his mistake was soon recognized, and when Edward Meyrick established the genus Trissodoris in 1914, he chose the former name to be valid.
