Chrysoesthia stipelloides is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal) and Madagascar.[1][2]
This species has a wingspan of 10-11mm and was formerly confused by Edward Meyrick with Chrysoesthia stipella (now considered as a junior-synonyme of Chrysoesthia sexguttella) from which it differs by genitalia and that has less developed yellow maculae.[3]
Biology[]
The larvae were reared in Madagascar by R.Paulian on Achyranthes aspera.
