Battaristis coniosema Meyrick, 1922
|
Battaristis coniosema is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru and Pará, Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are grey with the costal area broadly suffused with white on the anterior half and a thick black upcurved streak from towards the dorsum at one-third to the disc at three-fifths, the posterior half edged above by a suffused white streak extended nearly to the angle of the subterminal line, and marked above by a black dot representing the second discal stigma. There is a bronzy-blackish streak along the costa from two-fifths to the apex, anteriorly acute, cut by very oblique fine white lines at middle and two-thirds, the latter (subterminal line) continued to the termen where it forms a very acute angular projection including a black strigula, and then towards the dorsum before the tornus but not reaching it. The area between the costal and discal streaks suffused whitish and tinged brown. A dark grey white-speckled sub-oblique streak runs from the costa at five-sixths to the projection of the subterminal line. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
