We give here today a small list of moths coming from the collections of the National Museum of Natural History {Paris} and reported there is more than 50 years by Filhol; we will add time, the labels of source are marked unfortunately only: Fiji or Fiji islands, without quoting the exact island of the archipelago. Certain species were already quoted by Tams, this work will confirm their presence in the Fiji.With regard to Mariannes, any work that was made; if not the studied together of the insect fauna of Guam by the Services of the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters{\textquoteright} Association. Some families of Lepidoptera (Geometridae, Noctuidae, Pyralidae), were studied by Swezey (Insects off Guam II).

	abstract = {In 1895, a moth was captured in a mountain home in Makaweli, Kaua{\textquoteright}i, that would captivate and elude entomologists for the next century. Tinostoma smaragditis (Meyrick), aptly nicknamed the "Fabulous Green Sphinx of Kauai{\textquoteright}i" is a stunningly beautiful moth with green wings and thorax, pale brown hind wings, and orange antennae. Eighteen individuals are known to have been collected on Kaua{\textquoteright}i. However, despite extensive searches in areas around Koke{\textquoteright}e, all the specimens discovered until the 1990s were incidental catches, and the natural habitat and host plant of the moth remained unknown. This study describes the results of extensive searches of the diverse mesic forests with the aim of establishing range, habitat, and host-plant associations of the Fabulous Green Sphinx. In February 1998 a male T. smaragditis was attracted to a mercury vapor light set up in the diverse mesic forest. Subsequently, one other specimen was collected in a similar habitat type on another part of the island. However, the host plant of the moth remains unknown. In this paper we provide a history of collections, a summary of known biology, and a guide to potential host plants, including checklists of vascular plants found in the diverse mesic forests of two locations where T. smaragditis was found, Kalalau and Mahanaloa Valleys on Kaua{\textquoteright}i.},

	pages = {1-8},
	publisher = {University of California, Berkeley},
	abstract = {Despite the unique biological opportunities presented by the island chains of French Polynesia, the biology of the area is poorly understood. Moths are among the many taxa with undocumented biodiversity. There is biological interest in documenting which moth species are present and how they interact with the plant community. I collected 161 macrolepidopteran moths at a range of elevations on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia to explore their diversity and study their role as pollinators. I assembled a pollen library of 27 common plant species and attempted to match these pollens with pollen grains that were removed from moths. Although identification to species was not possible with all of the moths that were collected, I grouped them into morphospecies by wing pattern; 35 morphospecies were found. There were more species found at higher elevations. The abundance of some species changed with elevation. The most abundant morphospecies at all sites were non-endemics that are widely distributed throughout the South Pacific. Many moths were found to feed on the invasive Lantana camara and some fed on plants in the Myrtaceae. This study suggests that the moth fauna on Moorea is dominated by non-endemics, but that there may be some relictual endemics, especially at the higher elevations. It also suggests that invasive plants have a considerable impact on the moth fauna. Future research on Moorean moths should focus on accomplishing a more comprehensive survey of moth biodiversity and examining the interaction of the moth fauna with native and introduced plants.},

Almost 140 species of plants, many endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, were offered to the larvae through a combination of 3 methods. Among the plants was the species upon which the adult was found as well as suspected host plant species. Larvae did not respond to any plant species tested; larvae attempting to feed or actually feeding were not observed. Thus, the host-plant(s) remains unknown. Names of plant species offered to the larvae are provided and are considered unlikely host-plants given the lack of immature response},
