Battaristis curtella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Busck in 1914. It is found in Panama.[1]
The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are dark grey, finely irrorated with minute greenish ochreous dusting. The outer half of the costal edge has an oblique, white streaklet at apical the third and a perpendicular, white streaklet just before the apex. This latter nearly connects with a thin, perpendicular, white line across the wing, outside of which the tip of the wing is light grey with a single black longitudinal dash and a broad black marginal line narrowly edged with yellow. The hindwings are dark brownish fuscous with the basal half of the costa silvery white.[2]
