Compsolechia lingulata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Colombia and Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are light grey, towards the costa anteriorly suffused whitish and with a dark fuscous linear mark on the fold before the middle, and one in the disc beyond the middle, sometimes connected by dark grey suffusion. There is a suffused white longitudinal streak from the second to the termen just beneath the apex, near its anterior extremity expanded and including an oblique dark fuscous mark. A fine oblique white streak is found from the costa at two-thirds, reaching about half across the wing, edged by fine wedge-shaped blackish costal marks. The apical third of the wing is suffused light ochreous-brownish and there is a bent grey-whitish fascia irrorated black, the upper portion near the costal edge, the lower terminal. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
