Symmetrischema lectulifera is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded Texas.[1][2]
The wingspan is 13-16 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous partially tinged or suffused light greyish-ochreous and with the costal edge tinged blackish at the base. There is an elongate blackish costal patch from one-fifth to three-fourths, not reaching quite half across the wing, the anterior edge oblique, its lower edge with black marks before and beyond the middle, edged beneath with small greyish-ochreous spots representing the discal stigmata, the posterior edge somewhat shorter and direct. The plical stigma is indistinct, greyish-ochreous, and rather before the first discal and there is an indistinct whitish slightly bent transverse line at three-fourths, with beyond this a slender black streak running to the apex, interrupted before the apex. The hindwings are grey, in the disc lighter and bluish-tinged, on the costal area and terminal edge darker grey.[3]
