(Battaristis concisa)

Description

Battaristis concisa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Cuba. The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous, the costal area suffused white on the anterior half and the costal edge black at the base. The veins are marked with more or less irregularly developed dark fuscous lines and there is a well-marked blackish dash within the cell posteriorly, as well as a small blackish spot on the fold obliquely before this, and a blackish oblique mark on the transverse vein, these representing the stigmata. There are also oblique whitish strigulae edged on both sides with dark fuscous suffusion from the costa at four-fifths and the tornus opposite, nearly meeting before the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
