Locality: NEW ZEALAND AK, suburb of Saint Johns, University of Auckland Tamaki Campus. Habitat: Beaten from cultivated ground plants in a courtyard area. Identification: Cosmopterix attenuatella (Walker, 1864). ID based on the literature (Hoare, 2011). NOTE: This is the second specimen that I can recall ever having encountered on campus here.
