About Aroga morenella (Busck, 1908)
Aroga morenella is a moth species belonging to the Gelechiidae family. This species occurs in North America, with confirmed recorded sightings in the states of California and Arizona. Adults have a wingspan measuring 16 to 18 millimeters. The forewings are a deep purplish brown, almost black in shade, and marked with two distinct longitudinal white stripes. One of these stripes is a costal stripe that starts at the base of the wing, runs very close to the costal edge, and ends at the apical fifth of the wing. The other white streak broadly covers the dorsal edge from the base of the wing to the tornus; at the tornus, it bends slightly upward along the wing's terminal edge as a narrower, fainter spur that is obscured by dark scaling. The hindwings of Aroga morenella are brownish fuscous.
