Anarsia triglypta

Anarsia triglypta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1933.[1] It is found in north-eastern India.[2]

The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are grey, with the extreme tips of the scales whitish, forming a minute speckling, some slight brownish tinge in the disc. There is a small blackish-grey elongate spot on the middle of the costa, a smaller and more indistinct spot preceding it and two following it. There is a linear black dot in the middle of the base and a narrow black streak on the fold from near the base to one-third. A thicker black longitudinal streak is pointed at both ends, occupying the median fifth of the disc, a similar streak between this and the apex, and a small apical mark. There is also an oblique darker grey shade from the costa before the apex. The hindwings are light violet-grey, with the basal third of the costa on the lower surface irrorated black, with beneath this a short black dash towards the base.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Senegalia catechu.[3]
