Pectinivalva Mystaconota
''Pectinivalva mystaconota'' is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is known from scattered localities in eastern Australia from Wellington, New South Wales south to Mount Nelson, Hobart, Tasmania. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is 5.8-7.6 mm for males and 7.5-8.0 mm for females.

Pectinivalva Primigena
''Pectinivalva primigena'' is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found along the south-eastern coast of New South Wales, Australia. The wingspan is about 4.3 mm for females. Meyrick beat the single known specimen from '' Banksia sermta'' and thought this was probably the host-plant. He also stated that he found nepticulid larvae on this plant, but failed to rear them. Moore (1966) illustrated vacated mines on ''Banksia sermta'' and ''Banksia integrifolia'', which he believed belonged to nepticulids. However, search in a number of localities during 1995 has failed to reveal any unequivocal sign of nepticulids on ''Banksia'' or any other genus of Proteaceae. Vacated mines on ''Banksia sermta'', identical to those illustrated by Moore, have been found in two localities, but they are considered unlikely to belong to Nepticulidae as the commencement of the linear mine is uncharacteristically broad, and the egg appears to be injected into the leaf tissues, and is not visibl ...
