Asymphorodes dimorpha


Asymphorodes dimorpha is a species of gelechioid moth of subfamily Agonoxeninae of the palm moth family, whose taxonomic status is disputed. Alternatively, the palm moths might be a subfamily of the grass-miner moth family, with the Agonoxeninae becoming a tribe Agonoxenini.
Formerly, this genus was included in the cosmet moths. It is found in Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, Hawaii, Nīhoa, Necker [Island (Hawaii)|Necker Island], Pearl and [Hermes Atoll], Midway Atoll, Kure Atoll, Wake Island, Kanton Island and Jarvis Island, but is probably much more widely distributed in the Pacific.
