Compsolechia blepharopa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is 12-14 mm. The forewings are blackish with lilac-grey markings, sometimes slightly whitish-sprinkled, more or less marked with white on the costa. There is a narrow oblique subbasal fascia and moderate antemedian and postmedian fasciae converging towards the dorsum and confluent on the lower third, the second marked with a rather large round blackish spot outlined with white representing the second discal stigma. A patch of white irroration or suffusion is found on the apical portion of the costa and there is a separate semicircular patch of whitish irroration on the termen, which is more or less indicated, sometimes nearly obsolete. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
