The author considers the Tortricina to be clearly separable into the 
three following families, the first only being well represented in 
Australia : — 
1. Tortricidce. Lower median vein of hind-wings not pectinated at 
base ; vein 2 of fore- wings rising from before posterior third of cell. 
2. Grapholithidoi. Lower median vein of hind-wings pectinated at 
base ; vein 2 of fore-wings rising from before posterior third of cell. 
3. Conchylidoi. Lower median vein of hind-wings not pectinated at 
base ; vein 2 of fore-wings rising from posterior fourth of cell. 
A list of Walker’s Australian Tortricina is appended to the paper.
