Aristotelia melanaphra Meyrick, 1923
|
Aristotelia melanaphra 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 California.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are rather dark violet-grey with the stigmata faintly darker, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a cloudy white dot on the costa at two-thirds, and a fainter one on the tornus hardly before it. The apical area has blackish reflections. The hindwings are bluish-grey.[3]
