Phyllonorycter aarviki is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in Tanzania and Yemen.[1] The habitat consists of dry semi urbanized areas along the Indian coast and in eastern Africa.[1]
The length of the forewings is 2.3 mm.[1] The forewing ground colour is bright ochreous with blackish fuscous markings.[1] The hindwings are pale grey with a long pale fuscous fringe of the same shading than the hindwing.[1] Adults are on wing in late March (eastern Africa) and in early May (coast of the Arabian Peninsula).[1]
Etymology
The species is named after Leif Aarvik, collector of the holotype and a lepidopterist at the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo.[1]
