Battaristis emissurella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Panama, Colombia, Suriname, Guyana and Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with the extreme costal edge dark fuscous, on the posterior half forming a gradually dilated streak almost to the apex. There is a dark fuscous patch occupying the dorsal three-fifths of the wing from near the base to two-thirds. A strongly excurved fine whitish line is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, edged anteriorly except on the costal streak, by a grey fascia strewn with shining white specks. The terminal space beyond this is white on the upper half with two fine black dashes and a dark fuscous marginal line, suffusedly marked with dark fuscous on the lower half. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
