Anarsia sagittaria is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in India (Bengal).[2]

The wingspan is 13-15 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, slightly sprinkled with ochreous-whitish and with some scattered black scales here and there on the veins, as well as a black streak along the submedian fold, strong on the basal half, attenuated posteriorly. There is a blackish mark beneath this at the base, a slender black longitudinal streak in the disc from before the middle to three-fourth, reduced to scattered scales posteriorly. There is a slender subdorsal streak of black irroration from one-fourth to three-fourths. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
