Strobisia sapphiritis

Description

Strobisia sapphiritis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana. The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are bronzy-blackish with metallic-blue markings. There is a dot near the base in the middle, a curved oblique series of three towards the base, and one beneath the fold at one-fourth. There is an oblique strigula from the costa at one-third, and a dot beneath it. There is also an oblique streak from the middle of the costa reaching half across the wing and a triangle irregularly outlined on the dorsum beyond the middle, reaching nearly half across the wing. A curved irregular submarginal streak runs from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, thickest opposite the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.
