Sclerograptis

Sclerograptis is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Sclerograptis oxytypa, which is found in Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale olive-ochreous with a narrow irregular-edged brown fascia from the base of the costa to one-third of the dorsum. There is a dark brown patch edged dark fuscous and then fine white suffusion, extending on the costa from one-fourth to three-fourths and consisting of two triangular blotches (the anterior broad, the posterior narrow) confluent on the costal third, the first with a truncate apex reaching the dorsum beyond the middle, the second with an acute apex reaching the tornus, where it meets a narrow irregular-edged similar terminal fascia, whose edges are obscurely produced around the apex to meet a patch on the costa. The hindwings are grey.[2]
