Monochroa pentameris is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Japan (Honshu) and China (Guangxi).[1]
The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The forewings are white irrorated grey, the costa sometimes irrorated blackish, with a blackish spot near the costa towards the base, and one in the disc beyond it, sometimes connected, the stigmata forming small black spots, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There are blackish spots on or near the costa at one-third and two-thirds. The apical area is more or less suffused dark grey, with four small blackish-grey spots on the costa separated with whitish. The hindwings are grey.[2]
