Megacraspedus astemphella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia and South Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 9-11 mm. The forewings are fuscous, irrorated with blackish-fuscous and with a broad shining white costal streak from the base to the middle, then leaving the costa and narrowed to three-fourths. The stigmata are blackish-fuscous, irregular and sometimes dash-like, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. There are usually some undefined spots of whitish suffusion towards the costa posteriorly and at the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
