Sophronia sagittans is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Palestine.[1]
The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-fulvous or ochreous-brown with a white streak, attenuated basally, along the costa from the base to near the middle, then leaving the costa and narrowed to beyond the middle. There is a very oblique white striga from the costa at two-thirds, near the termen acutely angulated to the tornus, edged posteriorly with dark grey speckling which is strongest in the disc, and preceded in the angle by a fine black dash. There are two or sometimes three inwards-oblique white marks on the costa posteriorly, followed by two black marks before the apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
