Шаблон:Speciesbox Heterocrossa canescens is a species of moth in the family Carposinidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been observed in Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park and in the Southern Alps. The larvae of this species feed on the fruits and flowers of endemic to New Zealand species in the genus Gaultheria. Adult moths are on the wing in November and from January to March.
Taxonomy
This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1930 using material he collected in February at Governors Bush, Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park and originally named Carposina canescens.[1][2] George Hudson discussed this species under that name in his 1939 book A supplement to the butterflies and moths of New Zealand.[3] In 1978 Elwood Zimmerman argued that the genus Heterocrassa should not be a synonym of Carposina as the genitalia of the species in this genus are distinctive.[4] Subsequently John S. Dugdale placed this species within the genus Heterocrossa.[2][5][6] The holotype specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum.[2]
