Aristotelia ivae

Wikipedia Abstract

Aristotelia ivae is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Busck in 1900. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida and Georgia. The wingspan is 11.2-11.8 mm. The forewings are light silvery drab, on the outer half freely dusted with white and black scales. From the costa, there are two dark brown, nearly black, bands reaching the fold. The first from the base of the costa oblique outward, narrowing to a point. The other from the basal third curves outward and upward to a point after having reached the fold. These spots are narrowly margined with silvery yellow. A third indistinct, triangular, costal, light-brown spot has this margination wider and is followed by a small whitish spot. The tip of the wing is black. The hindwings are dark grey.
