''Hyposmocoma pupumoehewa'' is a species of moth of the Cosmopterigidae family. It is endemic to Maui. The wingspan is 11–12.2 mm for males and 11.4-13.8 mm for females. The larvae have been observed feeding on snails of the ''Tornatellides'' genus. They use silk to bind snails to nearby leaves and force their way into the snail's shell to feed. The larvae live in a larval case which has the form of an elongated structure with one entrance at each end. It is decorated with bits of sand and pebbles heavily woven with silk filaments. In the wild, lichen and empty snail shells are also used.〔(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, ''pūpū'' (meaning ''snail'') and ''moehewa'' (meaning ''nightmare'') and refers to the unique feeding habits of the caterpillars.
