Tinea conferta is a species of moth in the family Tineidae.[2] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[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.) conferta.[2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[1] This species has a pair of yellow marks near the dorsum with dark patches between these.
