Hellinsia luteolus is a moth of the Pterophoridae family. It is found in Arizona (including the type location, the Huachuca Mountains).
The wingspan is 20-21 mm. The head is brown (sometimes pale) but whitish between the antennae. The antennae are whitish above, darker below, sometimes with a blackish line above near the base. The thorax and abdomen are yellowish, pale brownish white or tawny. The forewings are a little paler than the thorax and abdomen and generally tawny white. The inner margin of the first lobe has a fine blackish brown dot before the apex. The cleft is preceded at some distance by a similar but larger dot. The fringes are concolorous. The hindwings and their fringes are a little darker and more greyish.[2]
