Gelechia lactiflora

Gelechia lactiflora is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Mozambique.^[1][2]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white with a black basal fascia occupying about one-sixth of the wing, confluent towards the costa with an oblique black fasciate patch from the costa, extending on the costa to two-fifths, and reaching two-thirds across the wing. There is a transverse trapezoidal black blotch from the costa beyond the middle, widest beneath and connected with the preceding in the disc, the lower posterior angle projecting as a lobe nearly to the tornus and with a few blackish scales along the costa between this and the preceding. There are one or two black scales at the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.^[3]
