the description of the tribe (Diakonoff, 1977) that some species of 
Hilarographa have a scaled haustellum is erroneous. 
The presence of hami and slit valvae (with coremata therein) in the 
male genitalia, and the typical tortricid ovipositor, together with an 
asteriod signum and complex accessory bursa-ductus bursae ar¬ 
rangement, in the female genitalia in H. swederiana and relatives, in¬ 
dicates that the Hilarographini are closely related to Southeast Asian 
chlidanotines and, yet, also show some similarity to Neotropical 
Polyorthini. Consequently, the Hilarographini may represent a transi¬ 
tional group between the South American Polyorthini and the South¬ 
east Asian Chlidanotinae. 
The North American fauna will be treated in a revision currently in 
preparation and will include a new species from Cuba similar to H. 
regalis. These species will require a new genus since adult morpho¬ 
logical characters indicate that they are not congeneric with H. 
swederiana, the type-species of Hilarographa. The species remaining 
in Hilarographa appear to be restricted to the Neotropics, with most 
Old World species belonging in Thaumatographa. Hilarographa regalis 
larvae have been recorded as feeding on the roots of Pinus sabiniana 
Douglas (Pinaceae) (label data). 
Idiothauma and Thaumatographa, listed as synonyms of Hilarographa 
by Meyrick (1913), are distinct genera of the Old World tropics; also 
members of Hilarographini.
