Anarsia stylota is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white with black markings. There are five spots at equal distances along the costa, and one at the apex, three subdorsal spots on the anterior half and a three-lobed mark in the disc before the middle, tending to be connected with the third costal and subdorsal spots. There is an inverted V-shaped mark in the disc beyond two-third. There is also a spot on dorsum at three-fourth, and one on the termen above the tornus. The hindwings are grey, but lighter and thinly scaled anteriorly.[2]
