Gelechia exposita is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found on Borneo.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are white, with scattered fuscous scales and blackish markings. There is a short mark from the base of the costa, and a small spot on the costa near the base. There is a dot in the disc at one-fifth and a rather oblique streak from the costa at one-fourth, somewhat dilated towards the fold, and with a small tuft on the anterior edge on the fold, not reaching the dorsum. There is a small spot on the costa before the middle and a dot in the disc beneath this, and one at two-thirds. There is also a spot on the costa at three-fifths and a raised transverse mark above the dorsum before the tornus. There are also small spots on the costa at three-fourths and at the apex, as well as some irregular clouding of dark fuscous irroration towards the termen. The hindwings are subhyaline very pale bluish-grey, darker towards the apex.[2]
