Coleotechnites petulans is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 9โ€“11 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous, more thinly towards the dorsum anteriorly. There is an oblique blackish bar from the costa at one-sixth to the fold, as well as blackish spots on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds and a black subcostal dot at one-fourth. The stigmata are black, sometimes ringed with white, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, an additional dot between the second discal and the dorsum. A small blackish spot is found on the dorsum before tornus and there are three blackish dots on the costa towards the apex, the apical area is darker-suffused. The hindwings are light grey, in males thinly scaled and whitish-tinged anteriorly.[2]
