Isophrictis actiella Barnes & Busck, 1920
|
Isophrictis actiella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Barnes and Busck in 1920. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.[1][2]
The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are dark brownish fuscous with a greenish sheen and a broad longitudinal spindle-shaped white streak on the middle of the wing from the base to the end of the cell. There is an outwardly oblique white costal streak before the cilia, meeting a similar opposite dorsal streak in a sharp angle. Three white costal dashes and five nearly confluent dorsal pencils are found beyond these first streaks and there is a deep black basal line at the base of the apical cilia. The hindwings are silvery fuscous.[3]
