This species is an intermediate between '' Atteva fulviguttata'' and '' Atteva gemmata'', differing from the former by the presence of white dots on forewings and thorax and from the latter by the reduced number of these dots.

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

Attevidae
''Atteva'' is a genus of moths in the monotypic family Attevidae. The group has a pantropical distribution; however, the range of at least one species, ''Atteva aurea'', extends into the temperate zone. No consistent hypotheses regarding the relationships, placement, and ranking of Attevidae have been published, but the prevalent view is that they likely form a monophyletic group within the Yponomeutoidea.Sohn et al. 2013"A Molecular Phylogeny for Yponomeutoidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Ditrysia) and Its Implications for Classification, Biogeography and the Evolution of Host Plant Use".

Atteva Gemmata
''Atteva gemmata'' is a moth of the family Attevidae. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873 and is endemic to Cuba. It is very similar to '' Atteva rawlinsi'' from Hispaniola but half its size. In ''Atteva gemmata'' the dots are reduced in number and connected to each other forming small, vertical, white lines. Taxonomy Both available names have been wrongly synonymised under '' Atteva pustulella'' (Walsingham, 1897) and reinstated as a valid species (Meyrick, 1914; Walsingham Walsingham () is a civil parish in North Norfolk, England, famous for its religious shrines in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. It also contains the ruins of two medieval Christian monasticism, monastic houses.Ordnance Survey (2002). ''OS Exp ..., 1914). However, it seems that both works were overlooked by John B. Heppner and W. Donald Duckworth (1983) and by Heppner (1984) who continued to follow Walsingham's synonymy. External linksA review of the New World ''Atteva'' (Walker) moth ...
