A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF NEW-ZEALAND CARPOSINIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA)

The carposinid genus Ctenarchis nov. (previously known as ''Ctenarchis Meyrick'', a nomen nudem) is formalised and described. The only species known, Ct. cramboides is described, and its head, wing venation, and genitalia are illustrated. Ctenarchis, like Tesuquea Klots, is unusual in Carposinidae in having the gnathos arms fused apically to form a V-shaped organ.
