Tinea margaritis is a species of moth in the family Tineidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. [2] [3] However the placement of this species within the genus Tinea is in doubt. [1] As a result, this species may be referred to as Tinea (s.l.) margaritis. [2] This species is endemic to New Zealand. [1]
