Aristotelia subrosea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are dark slaty-grey with three oblique black streaks from the costa near the base, at one-sixth, and one-third respectively, reaching three-fourths across the wing, the third strongest, the second and third connected beneath by an irregular subdorsal brownish-ochreous streak, its extremities terminated with rosy-whitish. The discal stigmata are elongate, black, the second edged above and beneath by small round ochreous spots. There is a spot of blackish suffusion on the costa at two-thirds and a whitish-rosy spot on the tornus and a smaller one on the costa beyond it, connected in the disc by a longitudinal black dash. The hindwings are grey.[3]
