Aristotelia probolopis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are bronzy-brown, sometimes partially suffused pale ochreous towards the dorsum and with the markings variable in development, dark brown partially mixed blackish on the margins and the dorsum, irregularly edged whitish, between them some blue-leaden mixture. There is a moderately broad basal fascia, with the edge oblique. There is a moderate less oblique antemedian fascia, its posterior edge forming a sharply-defined irregular upwards-oblique pointed projection in the disc and there is also a flattened-triangular blotch extending on the costa from the middle to three-fourths, the apex blackish, narrowly separated by ochreous-whitish from a fasciate blotch along the upper half of the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
