694 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



' at origin, these veins being from a point or stalked in all other 

 described genera ; it resembles Paramorpha in the structure of 

 the palpi, and has the rough scales on the surface of the fore- 

 wings in common with all the other Australian genera, and with 

 the European Phtheochroa. The case-bearing habit of the larva 

 is at present unique amongst Tortricina. 



The two species are readily known : 



a. Forewings carmine, with white markings . .1. rhodopnoana. 

 I. Forewings whitish, with ochreous markings 2. incongruana. 



1. Hel. rhodopnoana, n. sp. 



? . 7". Head and palpi whitish-ochreous. Antennae light 

 brownish-ochreous. Thorax light ochreous-brown, shoulders 

 tinged with carmine. Abdomen ochreous-grey, extremity ochre- 

 ous. Legs ochreous-grey, anterior coxse and femora carmine. 

 Forewings rather narrow, triangular, costa straight, bent before 

 apex, hindmargin slightly sinuate, oblique ; bright carmine, 

 deeper posteriorly, becoming ochreous-orange along inner margin 

 towards base ; a narrow oblique silvery-white anteriorly blackish- 

 margined streak from inner margin at one-third, nearly reaching 

 costa, its extremity uniting with apex of a slender ill-defined white 

 streak from base beneath costa ; a second narrow oblique silvery- 

 white anteriorly black-margined streak from inner margin just 

 beyond middle, reaching nearly to costa, the ground colour tinged 

 with orange along its anterior edge ; from middle of its posterior 

 edge proceeds a much slenderer white anteriorly blackish-margined 

 streak to inner margin a little before anal angle ; between first 

 and second white oblique streaks is a tuft of raised scales near 

 inner margin, a slender crescentic outwardly concave white 

 blackish-margined mark beneath costa a little before apex, and 

 another similar rather larger mark beneath it and anal angle, 

 not quite touching either ; a silvery- white streak from apex along 

 hindmargin, ending in a small dilated silvery-white anteriorly 

 blackish-margined spot below middle of hindmargin: cilia
