| Aristotelia paphia Meyrick, 1917 | |
Aristotelia paphia is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Peru.[1]
The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey, the dorsal area more or less mixed suffusedly with light crimson-pink and sometimes with light ochreous. There are blackish oblique bars from the costa at one-sixth and one-third, just crossing the fold, the first posteriorly and the second on both sides more or less distinctly edged with whitish tinged with crimson-pink. There is a rosy-white mark on the middle of the costa. The discal stigmata are black, the first sometimes connected with the apex of the preceding bar, the second larger, edged beneath by a light yellow-ochreous spot. A pale rose-pink spot is found on the costa at four-fifths, white on the costal edge. The hindwings are grey.[2]
