Aristotelia squamigera

Wikipedia Abstract

Aristotelia squamigera is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1909. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero). The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are rosy white, profusely sprinkled with brownish fuscous. There is an olivaceous brown patch at the base, much wider on the dorsum than on the costa, its outer edge oblique and somewhat clearly defined, its surface sprinkled, especially towards the base, with whitish scales. At about one-third a strong olivaceous brown costal patch, dilated obliquely outward and downward to the fold, is terminated at its outer extremity by a blackish spot. Beyond the middle a triangular olive-brown costal patch is terminated by a line of blackish scales truncating its apex on the cell, where it is joined by a fawn-ochreous patch exten
