Crocidosema leprarum is a moth of the family Tortricidae.[1][3] It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.[1][2][3] It is endemic to the Hawaiian islands (or possibly, a natural introduction), with records from Oahu, Molokai, Nihoa, and Necker, and possibly French Frigate Shoals and Laysan. It is a lowland and coastal species.[2]
The larvae feed on Sesuvium species.[3]
