Pararrhaptica Walsingham, 1907 (Tortricidae: Tortricinae:
Archipini)
This endemic genus has 19 named species in Hawaii (others exist in collections).
Males may have a weakly developed costal fold along the forewing, but not to
the degree that Spheterista,
Epiphyas, Eccoptocera,
Strepsicrates,and Epinotia
do. It is difficult to provide a set of distiguishing characters for this genus.
