Filatima xanthuris

Filatima xanthuris is a moth of the family Gelechiidae.

It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.

The stigmata are cloudy, dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal, the second discal rather large, subtriangular or elongate, but all these in males obscure and sometimes hardly perceptible, in females more distinct.

The apical area is often sprinkled whitish, with a small indistinct whitish spot on the costa at four-fifths and a faint angulated line sometimes perceptible.

[3] The larvae feed on Thermopsis pinetorum, Lupinus, Robinia and Vicia species.
