Friseria flammulella

provided by wikipedia EN

Friseria flammulella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found on the U.S. Virgin Islands, where it has been recorded from Saint Thomas.[1]

The wingspan is about 13.5 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous along the costal half and tawny-brown along the dorsal half, without any dividing line, the two colours blending beyond the middle. There is a dark chocolate-brown shade from the costa at the base, which curves downwards and outwards, ending in a conspicuous dash along the lower edge of the cell before the middle, its upper edge narrowly margined with whitish throughout, a minute dot of the same dark colour at the lower angle of the cell. The whole wing is suffused with a rich vinous gloss. The hindwings are grey.[2]
