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 ...

Pectinivalva Acmenae
''Pectinivalva acmenae'' is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in New South Wales. The wingspan is 4.5–5.5 mm for males and 5.2–5.6 mm for females. The thorax, tegulae and forewings are uniform shining dark grey with strong blue reflections. There is an inconspicuous tornal spot consisting of a few white scales. The hindwings are pale grey.
