Abstract Romna marginicollis (Reuter) is considered to be the junior synonym of R. capsoides (White). R. marginicollis sensu Eyles & Carvalho is renamed and redescribed as R. tenera n. sp. from New Zealand. Its distribution record is extended to the North Island. Habitus photographs of R. capsoides, R. marginicollis, and R. tenera are provided. A host plant and new localities are recorded for R. pallida Eyles & Carvalho, and a new host plant is recorded for R. scotti (White).
