Theisoa pallidochrella

Theisoa pallidochrella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chambers in 1873. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky and Illinois.^[1][2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are light reddish-grey, minutely dusted with dark purplish fuscous scales. Near base is an inconspicuous, small, dark, bronzy brown, costal dot. At the basal third is a large transverse dark bronzy-brown costal spot, reaching down across the fold. At about the apical third is a smaller concolorous costal spot and the tip of the wing has the dark scales collected into ill-defined transverse spots or streaks. The hindwings are shining, dark fuscous.^[3]
