Sarotorna myrrhina is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is 12-18 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous fuscous with white, ill-defined markings. There is a broad sub-basal fascia and a dorsal suffusion confluent with the fascia, as well as an ill-defined costal mark at one-third and a more distinct inwardly-oblique curved line from five-sixths of the costa to the tornus. The hindwings are pale-grey.[2]
