  • Aristotelia pudibundella

    Aristotelia pudibundella is a small moth in the twirler moth family Gelechiidae, described by Zeller in 1873. The species occurs across the southeastern and central United States, with additional records from Haiti, St. Croix, and Quebec. Adults can be distinguished from the similar Aristotelia roseosuffusella by their reduced or absent roseate coloration on the forewings and specific banding patterns. Larvae feed on Malus species and Acacia farnesiana.
