Aristotelia furtiva is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from eastern mainland Australia and Tasmania.[1]
The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in). The forewings are fuscous, slightly purplish tinged, sprinkled with dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous spot on the fold at one-fourth, and one beneath the costa at one-third. The stigmata are moderate, dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely before the first discal, which is in the middle. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
