Hellinsia varius is a moth of the family Pterophoridae that is found in California and Arizona.

The wingspan is 19–23 millimetres (0.75–0.91 in). The head is whitish, faintly touched with brown above. The antennae are white and usually vaguely brown dotted above. The thorax and abdomen are white. The forewings are soft, pale, brownish grey with a variably heavy white overscaling which is slightly thinner on the costa and often appears to be confined to the spaces between the veins on the lobes so that the veins appear to be dark lined. The fringes and hindwings are concolorous but without white scales.[2]
