Scrobipalpula gregalis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, speckled with whitish and sometimes with short brownish-ochreous dashes beneath the costa at one-sixth and one-third. The stigmata are small, black and sometimes edged with brownish markings, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. Sometimes, there is some obscure brownish marking in the disc posteriorly. The hindwings are slaty-grey.[2]
