Molecular Phylogeny, Revised Higher Molecular Phylogeny, Revised Higher Classification, and Implications for Conservation of Endangered Hawaiian Leaf-Mining Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Philodoria)1 Chris A. Johns,2,3,5 Matthew R. Moore,4 and Akito Y. Kawahara2,3,4 Abstract: The leaf-mining moth genus Philodoria Walsingham (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is composed of 30 described species, all of which are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Philodoria is known to feed on 10 families of endemic Hawaiian host plants, with several species recorded only from threatened or en- dangered hosts. Beyond their dependence on these plants, little is known of their evolutionary history and conservation status. We constructed a molecular phy- logeny of Philodoria to assess validity of its current subgeneric classification and to help guide future work on this threatened Hawaiian lineage. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences from three genes (CO1, CAD, EF-1α) combining for a total of 2,041 base pairs, were collected from 11 Philodoria species, incorpo- rating taxa from both currently recognized subgenera. These data were analyzed using both parsimony and model-based phylogenetic approaches. Contrary to the most recent systematic treatment of Philodoria, our results indicate strongly that the two currently recognized Philodoria subgenera are not monophyletic and that morphological characters used to classify them are homoplasious. Based on our robust results, we revised the higher classification ofPhilodoria: the subgenus Eophilodoria Zimmerman, 1978 is established as subjective junior synonym of Philodoria Walsingham, 1907. We also present new host plant and distribution data and discuss host range of Philodoria as it pertains to endangered Hawaiian plants. Philodoria WALSINGHAM, 1907 (Lepidoptera: cromoths that currently includes 30 described Gracillariidae) is a genus of leaf-mining mi- species, all of which are endemic to the Ha- waiian Islands (Zimmerman 1978). The genus is extraordinary in that its larvae mine leaves 1 This research was supported by the National of 10 plant families from seven orders (Swezey Science Foundation (Graduate Research Fellowship to 1954, Zimmerman 1978).

    BIOLOGY | GHOST | FLOWERS | The genes of Hawaiian plants, extinct for more than a century, have been brought back from the dead. Today we can smell their scents By Rowan Jacobsen Photographs by Floto + Warner 30 Scientific American, ebruaryF 2019 BACK FROM THE BRINK: The Wynberg conebush (l eft ) went extinct in 1806, and Maui’s mountain hibiscus (r ight ) followed in 1912. But their DNA has been recov­ ered, and some rejuvenated scent genes are once again producing fragrances. The hibiscus, sniffed by people for the first time in more than a century, evokes bark and juniper, with hints of citrus and thyme. February 2019, ScientificAmerican.com 31 Journalist Rowan Jacobsen is author of several books, such as Shadows on the Gulf (Bloomsbury, 2011) and The Essential Oyster (Bloomsbury, 2016), and many magazine articles. He was a 2017–18 Knight Science Journalism Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. n 1912, on the ancient lava fields of haleakala– on the hawaiian island of Maui, a single tree stood near death. Fifteen feet tall, its bark encrusted with lichens, it was down to its last flower. The Hawaiians called this tree hau kuahiwi, the mountain hibiscus. Unlike the more familiar Hawaiian hibiscus, which grows in moist valleys and opens wide in a welcom- ing aloha, the mountain hibiscus grew only on the dry, well-drained lava fields of Hawaii’s volcanoes. The plant unfolded only two of its five hibiscuslike petals, keeping the rest closed in a demure, curved tube designed for Maui’s honeycreepers—nectar-eating Isongbirds with curved bills that were its favored pollinators.

TREE SPECIE PROFILE: Name/s: MALUBAGO (Tagalog) • COTTON-WOOD (English) • HIBISCUS TILIACEUS, TALIPARITI TILIACEUM (Scientific) GENERAL DESCRIPTION: A small tree reaching 8-10 meters with heart-shaped leaves and large yellow gumamela-like flowers. When planted in rows, can be pruned into a tall hedge or when solitary develops a full round crown. PLANTING ZONE: Inland beach forest. Sandy portions of the beach, but away from the water and not directly exposed to strong winds. Can take extreme sun and salt spray. IDEAL SUBSTRATE: Sand or sandy soil. WATER REQUIREMENT: Plant in the rainy season and water only occasionally during the summers until well established. SEED / WILDING AVAILABILITY: September to December. PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS: Gather wildings (1-6 inch seedlings will be found to grow underneath mature trees in the said months) and nurse in small- medium seedling bags until 2-3 feet high, before planting into the ground. Select a sandy portion with full sun, but protected from harsh winds. Ideal for landscaping. NOTES: When in bloom, flowers are numerous and can be collected to make for exotic table pieces.

Reliable and up- to-date information on the state of forest resources - not only on area and area change, but also on such variables as growing stock, wood and non-wood products, carbon, protected areas, use of forests for recreation and other services, biological diversity and forests’ contribution to national economies - is crucial to support decision-making for policies and programmes in forestry and sustainable development at all levels. FAO, at the request of its member countries, regularly monitors the world’s forests and their management and uses through the Forest Resources Assessment Programme. This country report forms part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005 (FRA 2005), which is the most comprehensive assessment to date. More than 800 people have been involved, including 172 national correspondents and their colleagues, an Advisory Group, international experts, FAO staff, consultants and volunteers. Information has been collated from 229 countries and territories for three points in time: 1990, 2000 and 2005. The reporting framework for FRA 2005 is based on the thematic elements of sustainable forest management acknowledged in intergovernmental forest-related fora and includes more than 40 variables related to the extent, condition, uses and values of forest resources.
