Peritornenta gennaea is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Fiji.[1]

Characteristics

The wingspan is about 15 mm.

The forewings are whitish, closely irrorated grey, and with scattered small black dots (especially a subcostal and subdorsal series posteriorly, and on the veins towards the termen). The veins are white-lined near the termen, but may also possess a short streak of pinkish suffusion on the fold beneath the middle of the wing, as well as a subcrescentic black-ish mark on the end of the cell. Beyond this a cloudy blotch of darker grey irroration (suffused and pink-ish). There may also be a suffused darker grey semi-oval blotch on the costa somewhat beyond the middle and a curved-angulated whitish shade at three-fourths, followed by some darker grey suffusion with a slight pinkish tinge. The hindwings are grey.[2]
