Anarsia isogona is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Japan (Honshu, Kyushu),[1] China (Zhejiang, Yunnan), Taiwan and southern India.[2]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous irrorated with whitish, with some scattered fuscous and blackish scales and with several slight blackish marks on the costa. There is a triangular blackish blotch occupying the median fourth of the costa and reaching more than half across the wing. There are also obscure small spots of dark fuscous suffusion in the disc towards the base, near the dorsum at one-fourth, on the dorsum at three-fourth and at the tornus. The hindwings are grey, becoming hyaline anteriorly.[3]

The larvae feed on Schima species.
