Compsolechia binotatella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

Adults are cupreous brown, the forewings with two black points at the base and with a black spot in the disc near the base and a white transverse line at five-sixths of the length, traversed by an interrupted black streak, and forming an acute exterior angle, which emits a streak towards the border. There are a few slight white longitudinal submarginal streaks and a broad black streak along the tip of the costa.[2]
