Tinea conspecta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. [2] It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1931. [3] [4] However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. [1] As a result, this species has been referred to as Tinea (s.l.) conspecta. [2] This species is endemic to New Zealand. [1]
