About Aristotelia corallina Walsingham, 1909
Aristotelia corallina is a species of moth belonging to the family Gelechiidae. It was first described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1909. This species is distributed in Guerrero, Mexico; Puerto Rico; and multiple states in the United States, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. The wingspan of adult Aristotelia corallina is approximately 12 millimeters. The forewings are primarily blackish, with a rich rosy reddish color along the dorsum; this rosy reddish color spreads upward along the termen and across the terminal cilia, which have a somewhat obscurely double dark shade line running through them. The hindwings are dark grey. In Mexico, adult moths can be seen in flight throughout the year. The larvae of Aristotelia corallina feed on Acacia cornigera, Acacia farnesiana, and Chamaecrista nictitans.
