About Filatima albilorella (Zeller, 1873)

Filatima albilorella is a moth species that belongs to the Gelechiidae family. It is native to North America, with confirmed recorded populations across the U.S. states of Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, and Texas. The forewings of this species measure 6 millimeters in length. Forewings are dark brown and marked with three distinct oblique white fasciae: the first sits near the basal 1/4 section of the wing, the second near the middle of the wing, and the third just before the cilia.
