Meyrick, 1911

Aristotelia schematias is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found on the Seychelles (Mahé, Silhouette).[1][2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are brown suffused with dark fuscous irroration and with an oblique ochreous-white fascia towards the base, as well as an oblique whitish streak from the costa at one-third, running into a rather narrow somewhat curved whitish postmedian fascia, both these somewhat mixed with blue-grey. The stigmata are indistinct, formed by blackish irroration, the discal approximated, the plical before the first discal, a curved white line running from the postmedian fascia around the upper edge of the first discal and then direct beyond the plical to the dorsum. There is a white spot on the costa at five-sixths, where a blue-grey line edged anteriorly with white and containing a blackish dot in the disc runs to the tornus. Therre are also three minute white dots on the termen extending into the cilia. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
