Thiotricha laterestriata is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey in 1897. It is found on the West Indies.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are shining silvery white, the extreme apical portion bright orange. There is a very oblique brownish-grey costal streak, followed by a scarcely less oblique white one, runs through the orange space nearly to a conspicuous white-margined black spot at the apex, and is met by a more slender oblique streak from the dorsum, also followed by a parallel white streak, wider than the one above it, and nearly divided at its middle by a slender dark line reverting from the tornus. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
