(Battaristis stereogramma)

Description

Battaristis stereogramma is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana. The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are leaden-grey, sometimes irrorated with white and with a blackish spot or very oblique mark on the fold about one-fourth. There is a blackish dot in the middle of the disc and an oblique whitish strigula from the costa before the middle, edged on both sides with black, the posterior edging confluent with a dark fuscous fascia preceding the subterminal line, suffused anteriorly and blackish on the costa. The subterminal line from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus is nearly straight and whitish and the terminal area beyond this is more or less whitish-irrorated, especially towards the costa, with three or four more or less indistinct blackish pre-marginal dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous, somewhat thinly scaled in the disc anteriorly.
