Compsolechia dryocrossa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas, Para).[1]

The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are ochreous-fuscous, irrorated ochreous-whitish, with the costal edge fuscous from the base to three-fourths and with indistinct fuscous dots above the fold near the base and at one-fifth. The stigmata are very indistinct, cloudy and fuscous, with the discal approximated, the plical slightly before the first discal. There is a very faint paler shade, hardly traceable, from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, indented above the middle. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
