Macrosaccus morrisella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. In North America it is known from Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, south and west to Texas and Colorado.
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.

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.
