Wikipedia Abstract

Blastovalva paltobola is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in South Africa. The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are shining white with the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base and with a very oblique elongate dark fuscous mark towards the dorsum before the middle. There is a dark fuscous line running from the disc beyond the middle to the apical patch, where it meets a similar shorter line from an irregular suffused spot on the tornus. A patch is found along the apical fourth of the costa, consisting of three oblique wedge-shaped dark brown spots separated by white strigulae, the second strigula limiting a blackish apical dot, and preceded by two minute linear black dots surrounded by pale ochreous before the termen.
