Gelechia grisseochrella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.
There is a dark brown streak perpendicular to the base of the dorsal margin, a small dark brown spot just above the fold (sometimes touching it), before the middle.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gelechia grisseochrella”, the useful work is to connect “species of moth” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22285237. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
