Recurvaria costimaculella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found on Sicily.[1][2]
The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are light grey, mottled with grey-brown and with a black mark running from the base of the costa along the fold to two-fifths, another prominent black patch at the costa before the middle, with small black spot at the lower margin. The tornal and costal spots are brownish black, with a vertical, black streak between them. The termen has scattered black scales. The hindwings are light brownish grey. Adults have been recorded on wing from late June to early July.
Etymology
The species is named after the peculiar costal marking of the forewing.[3]
