Anarsia sagittaria is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Bengal.[2]
The wingspan is 13–15 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, slightly sprinkled with ochreous whitish and with some scattered black scales here and there on the veins, as well as a black streak along the submedian fold, strong on the basal half, attenuated posteriorly. There is a blackish mark beneath this at the base, a slender black longitudinal streak in the disc from before the middle to three-fourths, reduced to scattered scales posteriorly. There is a slender subdorsal streak of black sprinkles from one-fourth to three-fourths. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
