Wikipedia Abstract

Dichomeris turrita is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Brazil. The wingspan is 15-17 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous with a large blackish transverse blotch, edged with whitish, occupying the median third of the dorsum, the upper edge projecting furthest posteriorly, where it reaches four-fifths across the wing. The second discal stigma is round, blackish and whitish-edged and there is an indistinct rather irregular ochreous-whitish line from two-third of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, edged with fuscous posteriorly. There is a series of dark fuscous dots around the posterior third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
