Aristotelia oribatis Meyrick, 1917 | |
Aristotelia oribatis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Peru.[1]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are blackish-fuscous with a suffused brownish-ochreous streak along the dorsum from the base to the apex, occupying about one-third of the wing, partially confluent with a brownish-ochreous longitudinal streak above it from before the middle to three-fourths, which is partially edged with white above. There is an oblique white bar from the costa at one-fifth, almost reaching the dorsal streak, and a similar inwardly oblique white bar from the costa at four-fifths. There is also a white apical dot. The hindwings are light violet-grey.[2]
