Aristotelia hieroglyphica

Wikipedia Abstract

Aristotelia hieroglyphica is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1909. It is found in Mexico (Tabasco). The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are dark fawn-brown, paler along the dorsal half, with a pale patch at the lower angle of the cell. A whitish cinereous fascia leaves the costa at about one-sixth, running obliquely outward to the fold, but not traceable below it, this fascia is somewhat widened, showing a tendency to reduplication by brown scales along its middle. Parallel with this is a short oblique costal streak before the middle, and beyond the middle is another, converging at its apex with a similar inverted costal streak from before the end of the wing, from the inner edge of the first a narrow line of the same colour crosses the fold inwar
