Peritornenta gennaea is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Fiji.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish closely irrorated grey and with scattered small black dots, especially a subcostal and subdorsal series posteriorly, and on the veins towards the termen. The veins are white lined near the termen and there is a short streak of pinkish suffusion on the fold beneath the middle of the wing, as well as a subcrescentic blackish mark on the end of the cell, beyond this a cloudy blotch of darker grey irroration suffused pinkish. There is also a suffused darker grey semi-oval blotch on the costa somewhat beyond the middle and a curved-angulated whitish shade at three-fourths, followed by some darker grey suffusion with a slight pinkish tinge. The hindwings are grey.[2]
