Tinea dicharacta Meyrick, 1893 | |
Tinea dicharacta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1893 and can be found in Australia. [1] However, in 1911 Meyrick discussed specimens of an endemic-to-New-Zealand moth, but placed it within this species. The taxonomy of this latter moth, although currently falling within this species, is regarded as being in need of revision. [2] [1] As such the moth discussed by Edward Meyrick in 1911 is also known as Tinea dicharacta sensu Meyrick, 1911 or Tinea (s.l.) dicharacta. [3] [2]
Asterivora colpota is a moth in the family Choreutidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found throughout the North and South Islands. It is regarded as a lowland species and adults are on the wing from November until March. This moth has been collected by beating shrubs.
Asterivora iochondra is a species of moth in the family Choreutidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. This species has been observed in both the North and South Island at Mount Holdsworth and Mount Arthur. This species inhabits open spaces on mountains on the forest edge at 3000 ft altitude. Adults of this species are on the wing in February and flies rapidly in sunshine.
Heterocrossa contactella is a species of moth in the family Carposinidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be observed in both the North and South Islands. The preferred habitat of this species is native forest and scrub, especially where Leptospermum shrubs are found. Adults are on the wing in December and January.

Asaphodes chlamydota is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, and can be found in the lower part of the North Island and in the South Island. It inhabits native forest and shrublands. The larvae of this species feeds on native Clematis plants including Clematis afoliata. Adults are on the wing from November to April and are regarded as having intermedia flight powers.
Tinea accusatrix is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species has been referred to as Tinea (s.l.) accusatrix. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea astraea is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species has been referred to as Tinea (s.l.) astraea. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea atmogramma is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species has been referred to as Tinea (s.l.) atmogramma. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Asaphodes chlorocapna is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and can only be found in the Chatham Islands. The larvae of this species consume the leaves of Muehlenbeckia plants. Adults are on the wing in January. This species is classified as "At Risk, Relict'" by the Department of Conservation.
Asaphodes limonodes is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in both the North and South Islands. This species inhabits damp native forest. Adults are on the wing from November until March.

This species inhabits native beech forest at altitudes of between 2500 - 3000 ft. The adults of the species are on the wing from November and December.
Tingena plagiatella is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in both the North and South Islands. This species inhabits light native bush or scrubland. Adults of this species are on the wing from November to January.
Asaphodes periphaea is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has only been collected in the mountains near Lake Wakatipu in the South Island. The male is fuscous coloured sprinkled with whitish colouration. The female is brachypterous. The preferred habitat of this species are alpine bluffs as well as mountainous open country. This species is on the wing from January to March.
Asaphodes prasinias is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been found on both the North and South Islands. This species inhabits native forest including beech forest and subalpine scrub. The range of this species has reduced as this species is regarded as being locally extinct in the previously inhabited open non-forest habitats around Invercargill. Adults are on the wing from November to January.
Tinea fagicola is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) fagicola. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea margaritis is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) margaritis. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea mochlota is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1888. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) mochlota. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea munita is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) munita. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea texta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) texta. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Tinea sphenocosma is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1919. However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) sphenocosma. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
