Athrips stepposa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Ukraine, Russia[1] (southern Ural and Siberia: Tuva),[2] north-western Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
The wingspan is 8.5–10 mm. The forewings are greyish brown with two black spots at the base and about one-third, and one black spot at two-thirds near the posterior margin. All spots are surrounded by broad rings of ochreous scales. The hindwings are grey. Adults are on wing from mid-May to mid-June and again from July to early August in two generations per year.[3]
The larvae feed on Caragana frutex.[4]
