Compsolechia suffectella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Mexico, Panama, Colombia and Brazil (Amazonas, Espiritu Santo).[1]
The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are bright orange, with a short basal patch, a costal triangle, before the middle, reaching to the fold, and a large apical patch, all of these dark tawny fuscous, margined, except on the costa, by broken smaller patches of bright, shining steel-blue. A conspicuous patch of the same shining steel-blue, edged with dark fuscous, lies in the centre of the triangular orange area, between the dark costal and apical patches. The hindwings are brownish fuscous.[2]
