Thiotricha scioplecta

Thiotricha scioplecta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are pale glossy grey with an oblique triangular rather dark purplish-fuscous blotch extending on the dorsum from near the base to near the middle and reaching the fold. There is a dark purplish-fuscous streak just beneath the costa from one-third to near the apex, thick anteriorly and attenuated posteriorly. An oblique wedge-shaped dark purplish-fuscous mark is found from the costa at two-thirds running into this followed by violet-whitish strigula edged dark fuscous. There is a pale streak edged dark fuscous from the apex of this to the tornus, very acutely angled inwards on the fold. The apical area is ochreous, with a short violet-white dash terminating in the black apical dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
