Aristotelia aphromorpha is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Myanmar.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are white irregularly sprinkled with grey and with markings of dark grey suffusion partially mixed black. There is a small spot on the costa near the base, a trapezoidal blotch on the dorsum about one-third reaching beyond the fold, a blotch on the costa before the middle, a very irregular fascia from the middle of the dorsum to three-fifths of the costa, and a flattened-triangular blotch on the tornus almost confluent with an apical blotch. The hindwings are grey.[2]
