Record of moth species feeding on dead leaves on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan, in late November

―First report of larvae and food plants of Carmara subcervina, Oruza obliquaria (Acontiinae), and Hypenagonia longipalpis (Boletobiinae) (Erebidae)―

Abstract

Larvae of Carmara subcervina Walker, 1863, Oruza obliquaria Marumo, 1932, Hypenagonia longipalpis Hampson, 1912, and Simplicia caeneusalis (Walker, [1859]) (Herminiinae) were collected from dead leaves remaining on trees on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan, in late November. The larvae and host plants of C. subcervina, O. obliquaria, and H. longipalpis are reported for the first time. The ecology of S. caeneusalis larvae is still poorly understood.
