Heloscopa is a moth genus. It was placed initially in the family Tineidae of superfamily Tineoidea. But actually, it appears to belong to the related Gelechoidea, and therein to subfamily Oecophorinae of the family Oecophoridae.[1]
The genus is presently treated as monotypic, with the single species Heloscopa petricola placed here. The species is found in New Guinea.
