Anarsia molybdota is a species of moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Australia ,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland, Victoria,[2] New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.[3]
The wingspan is 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in). The forewings are fuscous (dusky), irrorated (speckled) with white and with a few scattered dark fuscous scales. There are obscure indications of small darker spots along the margins, and in the disc at three-fourths, as well as a well-defined triangular dark fuscous blotch on the costa about the middle, reaching half across the wing. The hindwings are whitish-fuscous, thinly scaled and semitransparent, but fuscous towards the apex and termen.[4]
