Buller's moth is a possibly extinct moth that is endemic to New Zealand. It is known from a single specimen caught in the Ruahine Range by Sir Walter Buller while on an expedition searching for the huia in the summer of 1867.

It is this wingspan that rules out the specimen being associated with species such as Dumbletonius characterifer.
