Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella.
The European oak leaf-miner or Zeller's midget is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in Europe south of the line running from Ireland, through Great Britain, Denmark to Ukraine. It is also found in Macaronesia. It is an introduced species in New Zealand and Australia.
Macarostola miniella is a species of moth in the family Gracillariidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is only found in the North Island and the adult moths have two different colour variations.
Aspilapteryx tessellata is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from New South Wales, Australia. It has been recommended that this species be further studied as its placement within the genus Aspilapteryx is in need of clarification.
Caloptilia octopunctata is a species of moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.

Acrocercops aethalota is a species of moth of the family Gracillariidae, known from New Zealand. In 2019 Robert Hoare proposed that this species be provisionally assigned to the genus Eumetriochroa. However as this proposal needs further investigation this species is also currently known as Eumetriochroa (s.l.) aetholata.
Porphyrosela hardenbergiella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from New Zealand, but may be adventive, since the host plant is Australian. The colony known to Wise has been destroyed since its discovery. This species was last collected in New Zealand in 1955 but as at 2019 was still not known from Australia.

However as this proposal needs further investigation this species is also currently known as Eumetriochroa (s.l.) panacicorticis.
Acrocercops panacifinens is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from New Zealand. In 2019 Robert Hoare proposed that this species be provisionally assigned to the genus Eumetriochroa. However as this proposal needs further investigation this species is also currently known as Eumetriochroa (s.l.) panacifinens.
Asaphodes beata is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is a relatively common species that can be found throughout the country in native forest or scrub habitat. It can be distinguished from its close relative Asaphodes adonis by the colour of its hind wings. The larvae of this species feeds on watercress but tends to be inactive during the day. If threatened it will mimic a twig dropping to the ground. The adult moths are on the wing from October to March and are said to be attracted to white rātā. The white markings on the forewing of the adults are variable in appearance.
Sabulopteryx botanica is a species of moth in the family Gracillariidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described in 2019 by Robert Hoare and Brian Patrick. The larval host of this species is Teucrium parvifolium, a plant that has been classified as at risk by the Department of Conservation.
