Symmetrischema pallidochrella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Vactor Tousey Chambers in 1872 and is found in North America.
Description[]
The base of the forewings is pale ocherous, sparsely dusted with fuscous and with a fuscous line across the wing close to the base. A fuscous streak passes obliquely backwards to the fold at the basal one-fourth, and then the wing is pale ocherous to the apex, rather densely dusted with fuscous and dark ocherous, with the extreme apex fuscous. The hindwings are pale fuscous.[1]
Distribution[]
It is found in North America, where it has been recorded in Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio and Oklahoma.[2][3] The moth was found at , Felixstowe, Suffolk in June 2019,[4] presumably as an accidental import into the UK.
