Eriogenes mesogypsa is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1925. It is found in Papua New Guinea [1] and Australia. [2]

The wingspan is 33–35 mm. The forewings are light brownish, more or less irrorated (sprinkled) with darker towards the costa and with an undefined rather broad median fascia of white suffusion, narrower and more distinct on the costa. There is a cloud of fainter white suffusion in the posterior third of the disc, sometimes little indicated. The second discal stigma is obscurely indicated as a darker dot on the posterior edge of the white fascia. The hindwings are pale greyish ochreous. [3]

<i>Trachypepla indolescens</i> Species of moth found in New Zealand and presumed to be native to Australia

Trachypepla importuna is a moth of the family Oecophoridae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. This moth is regarded as having been introduced to New Zealand and is presumed to be native to Australia. T. importuna has been collected in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. It inhabits native scrub and adults are on the wing in January and February. The placement of this species in the genus Trachypepla is regarded as being unsatisfactory and in need of revision.
