Gelechia anarsiella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Colorado. [1] [2]

There are two or three microscopic whitish specks or white scales scattered over the wings, and the cilia are pale-grey, dusted with dark grey or blackish scales. The hindwings are of a bluish smoky hue. [3]

The larvae feed on Ceanothus species, spinning a delicate web over the leaf it is feeding on, hiding in a silken tube in a folded leaf or between leaves. The larvae are green, faintly brownish shaded to the spiracles, then clear green. The head is shining black. [4]
