(Commatica servula)

Description

Commatica servula is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru. The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are violet-grey, becoming darker posteriorly with a blackish costal streak from before the middle to the apex, broad towards four-fifths but finely attenuated anteriorly and shortly pointed posteriorly, cut by a very oblique fine white striga from three-fourths. There is a thick whitish streak along the termen from the tornus, not reaching the apex but expanded into an irregular projection before it, including two more or less developed spots of ground-colour. The hindwings are grey with a large expansible light grey hairpencil from the base lying in the disc.
