Exaeretia sordidella is a moth in the Depressariidae family.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia, Oklahoma and Texas.[2][3]
The wingspan is 18–21 mm. The forewings are sordid whitish, irrorated with dull golden yellow and brown. There is a series of indistinct brownish spots from the apical third of the costa around the termen to the inner margin. These spots are mixed with a few dull golden-yellow scales. There is a brown discal spot at the basal third, with an elongate dull golden-yellow patch below it in the fold. There is also a conspicuous brown discal spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are smoky fuscous.[4]
