Meyrick, 1923

Aristotelia callirrhoda is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from North Carolina.[1][2]

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are deep brown, the base suffused whitish and with an oblique white fascia at one-fourth, rosy-tinged towards the dorsum, edged anteriorly by a few black scales. There is an angulated rosy-white median fascia sprinkled grey, and the plical and first discal stigmata form black dots on its anterior edge. There are white opposite spots more or less suffused rose-pink on the costa at three-fourths and the tornus, separated by a short black dash in the disc. Between this and the apex there are three white marks on the costa separated with black. The hindwings are grey.[3]
