Aristotelia pantalaena is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Mexico (Tabasco).[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, paler along the costa, with a tawny suffusion spreading from the base below the middle to the apex and dorsum, and minutely speckled with blackish scales. At the commencement of the costal cilia is a blackish spot. There is a smaller one in the middle of the fold and a very small one at the base of the costa, and a faint indication of another a little beyond the end of the cell. A few blackish scales are distributed around the obtuse apex and obliquely rounded termen before the brownish ochreous cilia. The hindwings are dull brownish fuscous.[2]
