Thiotricha galactaea

Wikipedia Abstract

Thiotricha galactaea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in southern India. The wingspan is 13-15 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with two elongate blackish dots obliquely placed towards the dorsum about one-fourth and a very oblique blackish median streak reaching from near the dorsum to above the middle. There is a blackish longitudinal mark above the dorsum towards the tornus and the posterior fourth of the costa and termen is more or less suffused with dark fuscous. A short oblique whitish streak is found from the costa at four-fifths, and a whitish streak almost along the termen. There is also a white dot before the apex, partially edged with black. The hindwings are pale grey, thinly scaled and with a dark grey dot at the apex.
