Chionodes chlorocephala

Chionodes chlorocephala is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New Mexico, California and Mexico.[2][3]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are fuscous, slightly speckled whitish, with the dorsal edge ochreous-white near the base and with a small light ochreous mark from the costa near the base, as well as a small obscure darker spot in the disc towards the base, partially surrounded by brownish-ochreous suffusion. The stigmata are very small, white, the discal approximated, partly edged blackish, the plical very obliquely before the first discal, followed by a blackish mark. There is an obscure brownish-ochreous transverse shade at three-fourths, rather angulated and interrupted in the middle, on the costa forming a small whitish-ochreous spot. The hindwings are light grey.[4]
