Battaristis atelesta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy-grey with a small blackish spot on the base of the dorsum and a blackish spot on the fold before one-fourth. The plical and second discal stigmata are black and there is a thick blackish streak along the costa from two-fifths to the apex, attenuated anteriorly, cut by a very oblique fine whitish strigula from beyond the middle, and by another somewhat less oblique from three-fourths, terminating in an undefined patch of whitish irroration near the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
