''Hyposmocoma nohomaalewa'' is a species of moth of the Cosmopterigidae family. It is endemic to Kauai. The wingspan is 5.6–6.6 mm for males and 4.6–5.7 mm for females. The larvae live on or near the tips of smaller roots of fallen ''Metrosideros polymorpha'' trees that are suspended parallel to the ground and covered with lichen. They live in a larval case which has the form of a bag-shaped structure covered with minute particles of sand intricately woven with silk. In the wild, it is always densely covered in bright green powdery lichen.〔(Ecologically and Morphologically Remarkable New Cosmet Moth Species of the Genus Hyposmocoma (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, with Reference to the Spectacular Diversity of Larval Cases )〕 ==Etymology== The specific name is derived from the Hawaiian, ''noho'' (meaning ''to sit'') and ''ma‘alewa'' (meaning ''aerial root'') and describes the unique and unusual larval behavior of this species.
