Garrha metriopis is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1887.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[2]

The wingspan is 17-19 mm. The forewings are whitish-rosy, somewhat mixed irregularly with pale grey and with a grey dot in the disc before the middle, a second on the fold rather obliquely beyond the first and a third rather larger dot in the disc at two-thirds. There is a series of very obscure grey dots from the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards, abruptly curved around in the disc at five-sixth to before the anal angle. The hindwings are very pale whitish-grey.[3]
