Philodoria is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae. All species are endemic to Hawaii. It was first described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.
Life history
The larvae mine the leaves of many kinds of broad-leaved plants. Some of the species pupate within the larval mines, but others emerge from their mines to pupate.
