Aristotelia lindanella

Aristotelia lindanella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Barnes and Busck in 1920. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.^[1][2]

The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are yellowish white with the extreme base of the costa black. There is a broad blackish brown transverse fascia at the basal third, slightly nearer the base at the costa than on the dorsal edge. A similar broader fascia is found at the apical third, strongly overlaid with brick-red on the dorsal half and touching on the dorsal edge a third broad fascia across the tip of the wing, which is nearly all brick red with only the costal end blackish brown. The tip of the wing is white with a few scattered brown scales. The hindwings are light whitish fuscous.^[3]
