Sattleria dzieduszyckii

Sattleria dzieduszyckii is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Nowicki in 1864. It is found in the Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania and former Yugoslavia.

The length of the forewings is 6.9-8.8 mm for males and 4.9-5.6 mm for females. The forewings are usually uniform without large dark areas, although some males have a diffuse dark spot at two-thirds. The plical stigma is sometimes indistinctly extended towards the base. Adults are on wing from June to mid-August.

The larvae possibly feed on Saxifraga species, Silene acaulis or Cerastium species.
