Teleiopsis baldiana is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.[1][2]
The wingspan is 19–21 mm. The forewings are bluish white, overlaid with fuscous, black and brown scales and with a rather well defined outwardly oblique fasciae of black raised scales from near the base of the costa to the basal fourth of the dorsum. There is an ill-defined light fuscous spot on the middle of costa, as well as an ill defined transverse shade of fuscous over the end of the cell, edged exteriorly by a narrow nearly unmottled white fascia. There is also a short transverse streak of black and brown raised scales at the end of the cell and the tip of the wing is overlaid with fuscous.[3]
The larvae feed on Toxicodendron diversilobum. They roll the leaves of their host plant.[4]
