Anarsia altercata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918.[1] It is found in India (Bengal).[2]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are whitish irrorated fuscous, more strongly posteriorly and with a dark fuscous dot on the base of the costa. There are oblique dark grey marks from the costa before and beyond one-fourth with two or three black scales beneath them, a small elongate spot before the middle, and a dot at two-thirds. There is a small black dot beneath the costa near the base, an oblong dark grey spot above the dorsum near the base, and a mark above it. A semi-oval suffused dark grey patch extends along the dorsum from one-third to four-fifths and reaching half across the wing, edged above in the middle by an elongate black mark. There is an elongate dark grey spot in the disc at three-fourths, terminated anteriorly by a small blackish dot. The apical area is mostly suffused dark grey. The hindwings are thinly scaled, light grey, with the veins and termen suffused darker grey.[3]
