Heterocrossa
Heterocrossa is a genus of moths in the Carposinidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. This genus was previously regarded as a synonym of the genus "Carposina". However Elwood C. Zimmerman in "Insects of Hawaii" (1978, p. 797) removed "Heterocrossa" from synonymy with "Carposina". Zimmerman argued that as the genitalia of "Heterocrossa" and "Carposina" are distinct, "Heterocrossa" should not be regarded as a synonym of "Carposina". This was agreed with by John S. Dugdale in his annotated catalogue of New Zealand lepidoptera. Species. Species contained in the genus include:
