Original description, Meyrick 1890
Telecrates n. g.
Head with appressed hairs; ocelli absent; tongue well developed. Antennae moderate, in male serrulate, very shortly ciliated (¼ - 1/3), basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint smooth-scaled, terminal joint as long as second or nearly, or rarely only half as long, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above and beneath. Forewings with vein 1 furcate towards base, 2 from 4/5; 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hindmargin, 11 from middle. Hindwings over 1, trapezoidal, densely haired towards base below middle, 1b shortly furcate at base, 3 and 4 from a point or short-stalked, 5 tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 from a point or stalked, 8 connected with cell at a point towards base.

[Tymbophora] This is a simple development of Telecrates, differing from it essentially only by the crested thorax. (Meyrick, 1890).
In this [Xylorycta]and the three following genera [Telecrates, Chalarotona and Scieropepla] great care must be taken not to confuse together the various unicolorous white species, and the structural differences must be accurately observed; there are, moreover, other unicolorous white species of very similar appearance in the Oecophoridae and Gelechiadae, which might very easily be mixed with them, even by a skilled observer. The superficial resemblance of these various forms is very great, but I am unable to determine whether they imitate one another or a common model, or whether the very simple resultant may not have been produced independently by similar development under analogous circumstances, without direct imitation of anything; or instance, the end desired might have been conspicuousness. (Meyrick, 1890).
XYLORYCTA, Meyr.
Antennal ciliations of male, ¼ to 2. This genus differs from Cryptophaga only in the non-pectinated antennae of the male. Recent discoveries have brought the two into very near relationship. I have been compelled to drop Meyrick's genus, Telecrates, which was distinguished only by the shorter antennal ciliations, as the new species referable to the present genus render it no longer tenable. Meyrick himself anticipated that this might come to be the case (op.cit. 57). (Turner, 1898).
I propose to widen the definition of the genus Xylorycta, so far as to unite with it the genera Lichenaula, Telecrates, Clerarcha, Plectophila, and Chalarotona. These were all published by me at the same time, and I select the name of Xylorycta for the resulting group because I made that typical of the family and therefore gave it precedence. The structural characters are thus extended in the following particulars : Antennal ciliations of ♂ variable (½ -3); 7 of forewings to apex or termen; 6 and 7 of hindwings approximated, connate, or stalked. (Meyrick 1905).
[Perixestis] Type eucephala Turn. I note here that the genera Plectophila Meyr. (type electella Walk.) and Telecrates Meyr. (type laetiorella Walk.) are good and tenable genera, not to be merged in Xylorycta. (Meyrick 1917).
Good examples, of progressive reduction in the maxillary palpi are exhibited in this large family. Lichenaula has a five-segmented palp; the genera Telecrates, Odites, Procometis, Agriophora [sic], Chalarotona, Scieropepla, Eschatura, Uzucha, and Catoryctis have each lost a segment; Xylorycta and Maroga have only three remaining; Cryptophaga rubescens has two, with a third represented by a minute papilla, while in C. nubila this papilla has been lost. (Philpott, 1927).
Xyloryctidae. Sister-group to clades 11-36. Defined by 3 apomorphies: 10 larval segments A1-8 with pinaculum ring around SD1; 2) a pore posterad/ventroposterad of SD1; 3) segments 3-7 with secondary SV setae. Worldwide: 86 genera, 1200 + species.
Xyloryctinae (fig. 9.2.I). Within Xyloryctidae possess autapomorphy, abdomen with band of spiniform setae on posterior part of terga 2-6. ♂ antenna simple, ciliate, bipectinate. Larva: head with bordered submental plate (a submental pit in some Cryptophasa), subgenal sclerite triangular, short, stemmata with gap between ½, 4/5, 5/6; A1 with 3 SV setae; A3-6 with 5-7 SV setae. Pupa: abdominal terga often with crenulate raised ridge near anterior margins, becoming spined in some species; metathoracic legs exposed distally. Wings reduced in Thyracopa apatela. Larval hosts 21 plant families (47% Protaceae + Myrtaceae), some on lichens. Subsaharan Africa, Indoaustralia, Polynesia: 60 + genera, 500 + species (Cryptophasa, Lichenaula, Metathrinca, Ommatothelxis, Pansepta, Phthonerodes, Scieropepla, Telecrates, Uzucha, Xylorycta).

The small Telecrates basileia is found in eucalypt forest and woodland in the top end of the Northern Territory and from Cape York Peninsula to Brisbane, Queensland. It lives in eucalypt forest and woodland. Nothing is known of its biology but a closely related species has larvae that bore in eucalypts. (Zborowski and Edwards, 2007).

Thorax ochreous-yellow. Abdomen light ochreous yellowish, sprinkled with grey. Legs light ochreous-yellowish, anterior and middle pair suffusedly banded with grey. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin faintly sinuate, oblique; ochreous-yellow; two very broad deep purple fasciae, obscurely margined with dark fuscous; first almost basal, outer edge slightly convex; second hindmarginal, anterior edge rather strongly convex: cilia ochreous-yellow, on costa purple-fuscous, at anal angle with a broad deep purple bar. Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 stalked; rather dark fuscous-grey; cilia pale ochreous-yellowish, above apex with a grey line near base.
Brisbane, Queensland; Newcastle and Sydney, New South Wales; Mount Lofty and Port Lincoln, South Australia; in September, October, January, and March, not uncommon. Larva residing in a barricaded tunnel in stems of Eucalyptus, carrying in leaves for food.
Other references
Mr. Meyrick states that T. laetiorella resides in a barricaded tunnel in stems of eucalyptus, etc.; whereas I find it to be a bark-feeder and that it spins a cocoon. I have reared many and have never found them as stated by him, though it is not unlikely that his statement is correct, for I know Xylorycta luteotactella occasionally to reside in a tunnel in stems of Banksia integrifolia, though usually spinning galleries amongst twigs and leaves, and finally forming a cocoon. (Illidge, 1895).

The larvae tunnel in the bark of Eucalyptus, feeding on the inner bark or on the adventitious bark growth around the holes left by wood-boring beetles. (Common, 1990).
