Tingena serena is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in Southland and Dunedin. The adults of this species are on the wing in December and January. Taxonomy 
This species was first described by Alfred Philpott using specimens collected in bush on a hillside in January at Waiau River at Sunnyside in Southland. Philpott originally named the species Borkhausenia serena. In that publication Philpott also studied and illustrated the genitalia of the male of this species. George Hudson discussed this species in his 1928 book The butterflies and moths of New Zealand under that name. In 1988 J. S. Dugdale synonymised B. comosaris with B. serena and then placed B. serena in the genus Tingena. The male holotype specimen is held in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection. Description
