Celama parvitis is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by George Howes in 1917. It is likely endemic to New Zealand.[1] Specimens have been found in Broad Bay, Otago and Aniseed Valley in Nelson.[1] A specimen was also collected south east of Te Anau where it was described by Charles E. Clarke as being a rare moth that was taken in December amongst Leptospermum.[2] This species has also been collected in December in the Dansey ecological district, near Kakanui, on Helichrysum aggregatum.[3]
