Four species are recognised, including two new species, as follows: <jats:italic>Arctesthescatapyrrha<\/jats:italic> (Butler, 1877), <jats:italic>A.siris<\/jats:italic> (Hudson, 1908), <jats:italic>A.titanica<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> and <jats:italic>A.avatar<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> All except <jats:italic>A.catapyrrha<\/jats:italic> are restricted to subalpine and alpine localities. Adults and genitalia are fully described and illustrated for all species; larvae of <jats:italic>A.catapyrrha<\/jats:italic> are also briefly described and illustrated. Only <jats:italic>Arctesthescatapyrrha<\/jats:italic> is widespread; <jats:italic>A.siris<\/jats:italic> is restricted to a few mountain ranges of Central Otago; <jats:italic>A.titanica<\/jats:italic> is only known from two wetland localities in the Von Valley of the Otago Lakes district, and <jats:italic>A.avatar<\/jats:italic> is only known from a few wetlands in a restricted area of north-west Nelson.
