Description

Commatica pterygota is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas). The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are white with an oblique-triangular dark fuscous blotch from the base of the dorsum reaching half across the wing and a large more oblique-triangular dark fuscous blotch from the dorsum before the middle reaching more than half across the wing. There is an anteriorly finely attenuated blackish costal streak from the middle to four-fifths, including an extremely oblique white strigula from the costa, and connected by brownish suffusion with a short black apical streak. There is a spot of dark brownish suffusion on the tornus, and two or three fine dashes of dark fuscous irroration towards the termen above this. The hindwings are grey, with the apex white.
