Cydia crassicornis is a moth of the family Tortricidae.[1][2] It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1907.[1][2][3] It is endemic to the island of Hawaii.[2][3][4]
Cydia crassicornis is similar to Cydia walsinghamii and might even be conspecific. It is known from two males collected in 1892 at 1,200 m (4,000 ft) altitude near Kona. It is presumed extinct. The larvae possibly used Acacia koa as the host.[2]
