Iulota triglossa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Tasmania.[1]
The wingspan is 14–15 mm (0.55–0.59 in). The forewings are golden ochreous yellow with a whitish-pink costal streak mixed with fuscous and with a narrow blackish median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex, the upper edge sharply defined, straight, indented before one-fourth, margined with a streak of white suffusion, the lower edge suffused with golden brown. The dorsal area is broadly suffused with pale pink sprinkled with fuscous. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
