Aristotelia calens
Meyrick, 1923

Aristotelia calens is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. 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 brown, at one-fourth an oblique white fascia suffusedly irrorated grey, preceded by small black spots on the costa and fold, a black streak on the fold connecting this with a very irregular angulated white median fascia irrorated grey, widest on the costa, its angle edged anteriorly by a black dot (the first discal stigma). The costa is suffused dark grey between this and a white dark-centred spot at three-fourths, where a narrow irregular inwards-oblique fascia of white and grey irroration runs to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[3]
