Brusqeulia atrograpta is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The wingspan is about 12 mm.

Etymology

[edit]

The specific name refers to the forewing colouration and is said to be derived from Greek ater (meaning black) and graptos (meaning written, painted).[2] In explaining another epithet in the same article, Razowski and Becker, label the word ater as Latin.[2] In ancient Greek, ater is not attested,[3] while in classical Latin, ater means "black".[4]
