Schizovalva trisignis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in South Africa (Gauteng).[1][2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are very dark bronzy-fuscous with a rather broad ochreous-whitish costal stripe from the base to near the apex, narrowed posteriorly. There is a rather narrower ochreous-white dorsal stripe from the base to the tornus, narrowed to the extremities. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
