Anarsia molybdota is a species of moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland, Victoria,[2] New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.[3]
The wingspan is 10–14 mm. The forewings are fuscous, irrorated with white and with a few scattered dark fuscous scales. There are obscure indications of small darker spots along the margins, and in the disc at three-fourths, as well as a well-defined triangular dark fuscous blotch on the costa about the middle, reaching half across the wing. The hindwings are whitish-fuscous, thinly scaled and semitransparent, but fuscous towards the apex and termen.[4]
