Acrocercops lophonota is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Java, Indonesia. [1]
Wingspan 10–11 mm. Head and thorax rather dark fuscous, pale-speckled, face whitish. Palpi with second joint rough-scaled towards apex anteriorly, dark fuscous, apex whitish, terminal joint rather rough anteriorly, whitish with three dark fuscous rings. Basal joint of antennae with narrow but strong pecten at base. Abdomen dark grey, beneath and on sides whitish, with lateral series of oblique dark fuscous bars. Forewings very narrow, obtuse; rather dark fuscous, pale-speckled; an obscure transverse whitish line almost at base; white transverse lines converging towards costa before and beyond 1/3, accompanied above by yellowish lines, similar more oblique pairs of lines meeting on costa beyond middle; between these are two darker fuscous suboval spots resting on costa partially edged by similar lines, and a third larger subtriangular blotch on costa about 2/3, some irregular light yellowish angulated markings beyond this; an obtusely angulated transverse bluish-silvery line towards apex, followed on costa by a yellowish mark and white dot; a large projecting tuft of dark fuscous scales from dorsum before middle, a smaller one beyond middle, and a third in cilia before tornus: cilia grey, at apex a dark fuscous hook. Hindwings dark grey; cilia grey. Forewings beneath in male with expansible pencil of ochreous-whitish hairs from base of costa reaching to 1/3 of wing. Java, Batavia; two specimens. Nearly allied to auricilla, which has similar dorsal tufts, but distinct; the apical area of wing in Acrocercops auricilla is pale ochreous-yellowish, and the pale lines are more obscure, not yellowish, and rather differently arranged, the costal spots blackish, the male has a subcostal hairpencil beneath, but it is much shorter.

Ichneutica paracausta is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found locally in the central North Island, is widespread in the South Island and can also be found in Stewart Island. I. paracausta is variable in colour, but as it has a distinctive black streak on its forewing as well as a wing pattern that is characteristic, I. paracausta is unlikely to be confused with other species. It is present on the North Island volcanic plateau as well as Little Bush Reserve in Hawkes Bay in the North Island as well as in tussock grassland, alpine and subalpine shrubland and in alpine forest. Larvae have been recorded as feeding on grasses, a pupa has been found in a cocoon under the bark of a tree and adult moths are on the wing from October to January.
Tingena ancogramma is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been found in the Hen and Chicken Islands, the North Island and the South Island. Adults are on the wing in summer and autumn and inhabit open areas of forest scrubland.
Tingena apanthes is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and found on the North Island. The adults are on the wing from October to December. It appears associated with Leptospermum species and it has been hypothesised that the appearance of the adults of this species imitates faded Leptospermum leaves.
Tingena chloritis is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been found in the South Island. Larvae of this species feed on leaf litter. The adults of this species are light flyers and are attracted to light.
Tingena letharga is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in Otago. Adults are on the wing in December and January.
Tingena siderota is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed at Mount Arthur, Arthur's Pass and in the Hawkes Bay. The adults of this species are on the wing in January and are said to be abundant on the flowers of species in the genus Aciphylla.
Trachypepla aspidephora is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in the North and South Islands. Adults are on the wing from November to March and are attracted to light. The moths can be found resting on tree trunks where their colouration imitates lichens.
Atomotricha versuta is a moth in the family Oecophoridae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in both the North and South Islands. The adults of the species are variable in appearance but the three principal variteis are connected b intermediate forms. The female of the species is brachypterous and is incapable of flight. Both the adult male and female have been observed resting on fences during cold winter nights.
Trachypepla spartodeta is a moth of the family Oecophoridae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been collected in both the North and South Islands. This species inhabits native forest and adults are on the wing from November to January.
