Armatophallus akagericus is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Rwanda.

The costal margin is mottled with black, a black spot at the base of the costal margin, another black spot at the base at mid-width and three black dots in the cell (two in the middle and one in the corner). There is also an elongate black spot at two-thirds of the costal margin, as well as a diffuse whitish spot at three-fourths of the costa. The hindwings are grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in September.
