Chionodes nanodella
Chionodes nanodella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.[2][3] The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, partly obscured by black, brown and dark fuscous scales. The pattern is obscure and ill-defined, consisting of two oblique dark streaks on the basal third of the wing in the cell and a blackish costal spot just before the apical third, preceding a light ochreous costal spot, which is the start and most apparent part of an indistinct, narrow, outwardly angulated ochreous fascia. The hindwings are light ochreous fuscous.[4] The larvae feed on Phacelia distans, Eriogonum latifolius, Eriogonum parvifolium and Lupinus species, including Lupinus arboreus. References
