Aristotelia galeotis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka[1] and South Africa.[2]
The wingspan is 7-8 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous or yellow-ochreous, paler towards the base, irregularly sprinkled with black and with a small round spot of black irroration on the fold at one-third, another in the disc about the middle, a third on the costa at three-fifths, and a fourth rather larger and more triangular on the tornus. The hindwings are rather dark grey, thinly scaled in the disc.[3]
