About Leucania scottii
Leucania scottii is a member of Noctuidae in the order Lepidoptera. Its recorded origin status on Kauaʻi is introduced.
Leucania scottii is an introduced noctuid moth historically documented from Kauaʻi. Current island persistence should be retained as documented but rechecked during final present-status validation.
Kauaʻi occurrence evidence: Bishop Museum's reassessment of Hawaiian Noctuoidea records Leucania scottii from Kauaʻi, with the island record dating to 1961.
The cited occurrence evidence does not by itself establish current abundance or population trend on Kauaʻi.
