Cardiaspina fiscella Taylor, 1962

Host plants: Leptospermum scoparium (Myrtaceae) .

Comments: Tuthill (1952) ‘found this minute species to be present on both Leptospermum scoparium and L. ericoides [= Kunzea ericoides ] at many localities throughout New Zealand’. Judging from the host plants he collected from, Tuthill’s (1952) record is a mix of C. clavata and C. pollicaris ( Dale 1985) .

Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Maskell, 1890)

Distribution: Australia; introduced into Africa, America (North and South), Asia, Europe and New Zealand: (Maskell 1890; Myers 1922; Clark 1938, all as Rhinocola eucalypti ; Miller 1971), BP, MC ( Tuthill 1952), WI ( Tuthill 1952; Dale 1985); AK, BR, CL, DN, GB, HB, MB, NC, ND, NN, SC, SL, TK, TO, WD, WO, WN (FHDB, LUNZ).

Ctenarytaina thysanura Ferris & Klyver, 1932

Distribution: Australia and New Zealand: ( Tuthill 1952), AK, WI ( Dale 1985), DN (introduced from Australia: Melbourne, Ferris & Klyver 1932; Dale 1985); SC, TO, WN (FHDB, LUNZ). Host plants: Boronia heterophylla , B. megastigma (Rutaceae) .

Ctenarytaina sp.

Distribution: New Zealand: AK, BP, ND, NN, WN ( Dale 1985, as Ctenarytaina n. sp. ‘cutaway’).

Host plants: Kunzea ericoides (Myrtaceae) .

Comments: When Dale (1985) described this species, she listed Leptospermum ericoides as the only host plant. However, a revision of the Leptospermum genus had already been made ( Thompson 1983) with L. ericoides transferred to Kunzea as K. ericoides . Therefore it is now listed here as such. Henderson et al. (2010) listed two Ctenarytaina spp. both with Leptospermum as host plant, but not specifying the species; this probably referred to Dale’s work without the updated plant classification.

Ctenarytaina sp.

Distribution: New Zealand: BR, MB, MC, NN, WN ( Dale 1985, as Ctenarytaina n. sp. ‘short’).

Host plants: Kunzea ericoides (Myrtaceae) .

Comments: When Dale (1985) described this species, she listed Leptospermum ericoides as the only host plant. However, a revision of the Leptospermum genus had already been made ( Thompson 1983) with L. ericoides transferred to Kunzea as K. ericoides . Therefore it is now listed here as such. Henderson et al. (2010) listed two Ctenarytaina spp. both with Leptospermum as host plant, but not specifying the species; this probably referred to Dale’s work without the updated plant classification.

Ctenarytaina sp.

Distribution: Australia; introduced into New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010). Host plants: Syzygium sp. ( Myrtaceae ).
