Compsolechia repandella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Mexico, Colombia, southern Brazil (Parana, Amazonas) and Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is 12-14 mm. The forewings are grey, sometimes more or less sprinkled with black and white and with a black spot beneath the costa near the base. There is an oblique blackish streak from one-fifth of the dorsum reaching half across the wing. The stigmata are moderate, cloudy and blackish, the discal approximated, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a fine white nearly straight more or less interrupted subterminal line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, preceded by a deep brown fascia becoming blackish on the costa. Between this and the termen is a transverse whitish sometimes bluish-tinged blotch crossed by two black dashes and surmounted by a small elongate black spot. The hindwings are dark fuscous, the submedian fold in males filled with long hairs.[2]
