Wikipedia Abstract

Helcystogramma anthistis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is known from Sri Lanka. The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are orange with a narrow pale blue-metallic streak edged on both sides with dark fuscous along the costa from near the base to near the middle, thence bent obliquely down and continued wider more than half across wing. There is a blackish line near andparallel to the lower edge of this throughout, as well as a slender pale blue-metallic streak along and beneath the fold from the base to near the dorsum in the middle. There is also an incurved dark fuscous transverse line from the costa beyond the middle running to join the apex of the dark median line from the base. A straight pale violet-metallic transverse fascia is found
