Phthorimaea molitor is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1896. It is found in Yemen.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are meal-white with some indication of a darker shade above the base of the fold, a slight greyish shade spot at the end of the cell and some very faint greyish shade spots around the termen at the base of the costal and terminal cilia, which are also meal-white. The hindwings are somewhat iridescent, greyish white.[3]
