Aristotelia aphiltra

Aristotelia aphiltra is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador.^[1]

The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are grey sprinkled with dark fuscous and whitish, the dorsal area suffused with brownish-ochreous. There are oblique dark fuscous bars from the costa at one-sixth and one-third to the fold, the space between these sometimes more mixed with white. There is also a dark fuscous trapezoidal blotch narrowed downwards on the costa about two-thirds, edged beneath by a brownish-ochreous spot, beyond this a white spot on the costa, produced along the margin of the blotch, followed by a dark fuscous apical blotch. The hindwings are grey.^[2]
