Symmetrischema kendallorum

Wikipedia Abstract

Symmetrischema kendallorum is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Blanchard and Knudson in 1982. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded Texas. The length of the forewings are 4.9–6 mm for males and 5-6.6 mm for females. The forewings are light ochreous, largely obscured by extensive fulvous overscaling and grayish-black patches. An extensive greyish black patch occupies the middle of the forewing, from the costal margin to the fold and is interrupted by two fulvous spots in the cell. These are narrowly edged with the ground colour. A single row of greyish-black scales extends along the dorsal margin, broadening to form a greyish-black patch near the base. The hindwings are light fuscous.
