Types of rice flour [Q]

[TimL...@aol.com]

A list of powders usable in an invention includes:

 

米粉　（上新粉、白玉粉を含む）

 

[komeko (joushinko, shiratamako wo fukumu)]

 

What should 上新粉、白玉粉 be called in English? At present I am not having much luck in finding these.

白玉粉 rice flour for dumplings
上新粉 top-grade rice flour made from non-glutinous rice
