Spatalistis aglaoxantha is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Sichuan, Zhejiang).[2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are bright clear yellow with two or three small ferruginous dots towards the dorsum anteriorly and an irregular violet-fuscous costal band becoming reddish-ochreous on the posterior half. There are several small raised blue-leaden-metallic spots, costa throughout reddish-ochreous mixed with yellow and there is a large dark violet-grey terminal blotch occupying two-fifths of the wing on the dorsal half, but narrowed upwards and not reaching the costa, including several small leaden-metallic spots, the apical and terminal edge are reddish-ochreous mixed with yellow. The hindwings are grey, the costal half whitish from the base to beyond the middle.[3]
