Gnorimoschema powelli is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Povolný in 1998. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California and Arizona.[1][2]
The length of the forewings is 11.2-13 mm. The forewings are cinereous whitish with numerous radiate striae of deep grey to blackish. The costa is blackish and a distinct blackish stigma in the discal area. There is a group of blackish stigmata with distinct black but delicate scales at the apex. There is also a linear rust ochreous shade in the apical area. The hindwings are grey to whitish lustrous, with the veins darker.[3]
The larvae induce galls on the stems of Baccharis sarothroides.[4]
