Proselotis strictula

Proselotis strictula is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1937. It is found in South Africa, where it has been recorded from the Eastern Cape.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm for males and 10–11 mm for females. The forewings of the males are silvery grey, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with dark fuscous and with black dots towards the costa about one-fifth and two-fifths, two on the fold obliquely before these respectively, and one in the disc at about two-thirds. There is a more or less developed irregular dark fuscous or blackish longitudinal streak from the disc to the apex. The hindwings are grey. The forewings of the females are brownish or light grey, irregularly irrorated with dark fuscous, especially along the costa. There are also large blackish dots towards the costa at one-third and beyond the middle, two on the fold obliquely before these respectively, and one in the disc about three-fourths. The hindwings are grey.[3]
