Mnesarchaea is a genus of "New Zealand primitive moths" in the family Mnesarchaeidae. This genus is endemic to New Zealand.
Asaphodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1885. This genus is endemic to New Zealand and species within this genus are found throughout New Zealand including the North, South and Stewart / Rakiura Islands.
Sabatinca chalcophanes is a moth of the family Micropterigidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the North Island apart from Northland and in the South Island apart from in the east, south of Queen Charlotte Sound. The adults of this species are on the wing from November to April and as a result of this long period it has been hypothesised that this species has two broods. The preferred habitat of this species is in damp lowland forest. The larval host species are foliose liverwort species including Hymenophyton flabellatum.
Sabatinca chrysargyra is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886 and is endemic to New Zealand. It can can be found from Franz Josef Glacier / Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere south but only on the western side of the South Island. Adults are on the wing from the beginning of October until the middle of January. Larvae likely feed on foliose liverworts and have been found on species in the genus Plagiochila. The adult moths live in a range of habitats preferring sunny open spaces in forests or snow-tussock grasslands that can range in altitude from near sea level up to 1,230 m. This species is very similar in appearance to Sabatinca aemula and dissection of genitalia is required to distinguish between the two species.
Orocrambus ephorus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885. It is endemic to New Zealand. It has been recorded from the South Island. The species' preferred habitat consists of alpine tussock grasslands.
Pyrgotis eudorana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic in New Zealand and has been observed in both the North and South Islands. However it is regarded as a rare insect. This species inhabits native forest. Larvae exclusively feed on Muehlenbeckia australis and adults are on the wing from November to April. Adults are attracted to light.
Eudonia asterisca is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884 and is endemic to New Zealand. It has been recorded in both the North and South Islands. This species is recorded as being present at sea level up to altitudes of 1350 m. This species has been recorded as inhabiting native podocarp/hardwood forests. The adults of this species are on the wing from December until March although they have also been recorded in October and November. They are attracted to light and have also been trapped via sugar traps.
Anisoplaca achyrota is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 and is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been observed in both the North and South Islands and inhabits native forest. The larvae of this species feed on the green seeds of Hoheria angustifolia and as such is regarded as an indicator species for mature native forest. The adults of the species are commonly on the wing from December until February and are attracted to light.
Aristotelia paradesma is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 and is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been observed on both the North and South Islands. The larvae feed on Coprosma species creating and living in stem galls. The adults are on the wing from November to March and are attracted to light.
Thiotricha tetraphala is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Phaeosaces apocrypta is a species of moth in the family Depressariidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Orthenches chartularia is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1924. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found in the North and South Islands. This species inhabits open grassy areas in native subalpine forest. Adults are on the wing in January and February.
Orthenches chlorocoma is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in the North and South Islands.
Orthenches dictyarcha is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed at Arthur's Pass and at Hollyford Valley in Fiordland. It is one of the larger species in its genus and is similar in appearance to O. homerica. Its preferred habitat is beech forest and adults are on the wing in January.
Orthenches disparilis is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Alfred Philpott in 1931. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Orthenches homerica is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by John Salmon in 1956. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Orthenches saleuta is a moth of the family Plutellidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is endemic to New Zealand.
