Aristotelia hexacopa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona, California and New Mexico.[1][2]
The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are blackish, minutely white-speckled and with a wedge-shaped white mark along the dorsum at the base, just reaching the next streak. There are narrow pointed oblique white streaks from the costa at one-fourth and beyond the middle, reaching half across the wing, and irregular oblique white streaks from the dorsum opposite these, the first pair nearly meeting, between the tips of second pair a small white mark not touching either. There is also a small white triangular spot on the costa at three-fourths, and a slender tornal mark opposite. The hindwings are grey.[3]
