Aristotelia paradesma is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1885. It is found in New Zealand.[1]

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are whitish, irregularly irrorated with light grey and with a grey suffusion along the inner margin from the base to the anal angle. There is a small blackish spot on the costa almost at the base and a black dot beneath the costa at one-fifth, and a second larger one beneath it on the fold. A thick blackish transverse somewhat oblique streak is found at one-third, reaching from beneath the costa to the fold, the margins irregular. There are also two black dots nearly longitudinally placed in the middle of the disc, and a third in the disc at three-fourths. The hindwings are grey.[2]
