Glaucocharis helioctypa is a moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. [2] It is endemic to New Zealand. [3]
This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882 and named Diptychophora helioctypa. [4] Meyrick gave a fuller description of this species in 1883. [5] The male lectotype, collected at Lake Wakatipu by R. W. Fereday is held at the Natural History Museum, London. [6]

Apoctena taipana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in both the North and South Islands.

Gadira petraula is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and is only found in mid Canterbury. G. petraula inhabits coastal, montane and low alpine rock sites. The larvae live in rock crevices in a silk shelter from which they emerge to feed. Their host plants are moss or lichens. The adult female is flightless and the male is on the wing in March. This species is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation. The 2010 and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes destroyed much of this species preferred habitat. Rock climbers cleaning rocks of the larval host plants are also a threat to the survival of this species.
