Battaristis orthocampta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are grey or pale greyish ochreous, somewhat tinged with fuscous towards the dorsum and with a black dot beneath the fold at one-fourth. The plical and second discal stigmata are blackish and there is a thick blackish streak along the costa from two-fifths to the apex, attenuated anteriorly, cut by a fine white very oblique strigula from the costa beyond the middle. There is a fine black dash in the disc beyond the second discal stigma, not reaching the subterminal line and there is sometimes a blackish mark on the dorsum before the subterminal line. A fine whitish subterminal line is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, right angled in the middle, both portions straight. A white bar connects the angle of this line with the termen beneath the apex, including a fine black strigula posteriorly. The terminal area beneath this is fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish and there is a minute whitish dot on the costa near the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
