Aristotelia galeotis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward 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 (speckles) 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]
