Ategumia ebulealis
Ategumia ebulealis, the clidemia leafroller, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The species was described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is found in Central America, the Antilles, and the south-eastern United States (Florida and Georgia). It was thought to be introduced to Hawaii, but later research concluded it was actually Ategumia matutinalis which was released.
