Glyphidocera psammolitha is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous more or less irrorated fuscous or dark fuscous. The stigmata form small cloudy fuscous or dark fuscous spots or dots, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, sometimes an additional spot midway between the first discal and the base. There are sometimes terminal dots of dark fuscous suffusion. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, the apex sometimes greyish-tinged.[2]
