Aristotelia dryonota is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found in South Africa, where it has been recorded from the Western Cape.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are grey irrorated blackish, irregularly mixed blue-leaden and with an irregular brownish-ochreous dorsal stripe from the base to the apex, occupying about one-third of the wing, posteriorly somewhat interrupted. The discal stigmata are rather large, black, edged laterally with a few white scales, the first preceded by a slender indistinct ochreous dash. The plical is less marked, resting on the edge of the dorsal stripe very obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are slaty-grey.[3]
