Wikipedia Abstract

Charistica callichroma is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and possibly Brazil (Amazonas). The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are black with the base narrowly metallic-blue-green, extended as a thick streak along the dorsum to the middle. There are slender interrupted yellow transverse streaks between this streak and the costa at one-sixth and before the middle, and the space between them is traversed by a yellow costal line and subcostal and median streaks, alternating with narrow metallic-blue-green finely black-edged streaks, the yellow subcostal streak divided by a fine black line. There is a slender violet-leaden transverse median fascia, narrowly edged with black ground-colour, considerably expanded posteriorly beneath
