Gnorimoschema batanella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck in 1903. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California , Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey and Ontario.[1][2]
The wingspan is 11.5-12.5 mm. The forewings are white, with a faint rosy tinge, irregularly and sparsely sprinkled with black scales, especially toward the edges. A rather prominent group of them is found on the costa at the apical third. On the middle of the disc is a small light-brown spot and another similar spot is found at the end of the cell. On the middle of the dorsal edge is a patch of brown, and between this and the apex are two other small groups of brown scales. All of these brown markings are obscure, ill-defined, and not constant in all specimens. The black scales form a nearly continuous thin line at the base of the cilia around the apical edge. The hindwings are dark, shining fuscous.[3]
