Chionodes agriodes is a moth in the Gelechiidae family.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from southern Alberta and southern British Columbia to Utah, Colorado and California.[2][3]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are light grey irrorated dark grey and with the stigmata blackish-grey, the plical and first discal elongate, the plical somewhat anterior, the second discal roundish but with a fine projecting dash anteriorly. There is a marginal series of small cloudy blackish-grey spots around the posterior part of the costa and termen partly in the cilia. The hindwings are light bluish-grey.[4]
