Salagena charlottae is a moth in the family Cossidae. It is found in Kenya, [1] where it has been recorded from Gogoni Forest. The habitat consists of legume-dominated lowland coastal forests.
The length of the forewings is about 7.5 mm. The forewings are pale orange-yellow, with streaks along the costal margin and crescent-shaped dots along the distal margin which are the same colour. There are streaks of antique brown on the whole upper side with small blackish streaks and dots, as well as a row of three to five small blackish dots near the apex. The hindwings are mouse-grey.
The species is named for Charlotte Marie-Johanna Haberland, the grandmother of the author. [2]

Izatha manubriata is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is known from the southern South Island only.
Ichneutica omoplaca is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is widespread from the Bay of Plenty in the North Island down to Southland in the South Island. Specimens have also been collected from the Auckland Islands. It lives in a variety of habitats including beech forest clearings and tussock grasslands. This species has been recorded that some of the larval hosts of this species include Poa cita, Dactylis glomerata and it has been reared on Plantago lanceolata. The larva is undescribed but pupae have been found in a pine plantation in soil under weeds. Adults of this species are on the wing from October to March. The adult moths are variable in appearance but the diagnostic feature is the pale ochreous to white colouring between the basal streak and the costa which contrasts with the ground colour of the forewing.
Ichneutica similis is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is found only in certain parts of the North Island, in the western side of the South Island and on Stewart Island. It inhabits peatlands as well as inland and coastal wetlands. The life history of this species is unknown and the host species of its larvae has yet to be confirmed. It has been hypothesised that larval host species might be within the Empodisma genus as well as possibly the species Apodasmia similis.
