Thiotricha pyrphora

Thiotricha pyrphora is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is 7–8 mm. The forewings are grey, the basal half suffused with shining whitish. There is a deep orange blotch occupying the apical third, the anterior edge indented below the middle by a projection of ground colour sometimes (in males) extended as a streak to the apical spots, or with a spot of grey suffusion on the termen (in females). There is a round black spot at the apex (smaller in females), and a dot beneath it. The hindwings are grey, towards the apex suffused with orange before a dark grey pre-apical bar and with a black apical dot.[2]
