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. As such the moth discussed by Edward Meyrick in 1911 is also known as Tinea dicharacta sensu Meyrick, 1911 or Tinea (s.l.) dicharacta.
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.
