Wikipedia Abstract

Gelechia albisparsella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee. The wingspan is about 15 mm. Adults are dark brown, the forewings faintly suffused with ochreous and sparsely and indistinctly sprinkled with white scales, which at the beginning of the costal ciliae become a little more distinct, forming a narrow, clouded whitish fascia pointing a little obliquely backwards.
