Parienia is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae of the family Tortricidae. [3] [4] This genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1881. [1] It consists of only one species, [5] Parienia mochlophorana, which is endemic to New Zealand. [6]
The larvae of this moth is semi-aquatic and can be found in and around seepages or on surface detritus near moist areas. The larvae pupates in turf. The larval hosts of this species of moth are likely to be plants or debris found in this moist habitat. [7]
Hendecasticha is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae of the family Tortricidae. This genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1881. It consists of only one species, Hendecasticha aethaliana, which is endemic to New Zealand.
Zealandopterix zonodoxa is a moth of the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is located from Hawkes Bay north as well as on Poor Knights, Little Barrier and the Great Barrier Islands. It is the smallest micropterigid in New Zealand and the shiny white markings on the forewing of this species display variation. It is a moth that is active during the day, but has been collected using UV light. Adults are on the wing from September to March and the species has been witnessed visiting the flowers of Nīkau and Cordyline pumilio in large numbers. It inhabits a wide variety of moist indigenous forest but is associated with forests in which podocarps are common. Larvae have been sieved from rotten wood on the floor of a mixed podocarp/broadleaf forest or extracted from moss or from bryophytes.
Cryptaspasma querula is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the country. This species inhabits podocarp and broadleaf forest.

Adults are variable in appearance and also in size. They are on the wing throughout the year and are nocturnal but are attracted to light.

Holocola emplasta is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in the South Island. The larval hosts are species within the genus Coprosma. Adults of the species are on the wing during the New Zealand spring months.
