Compsolechia secretella

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

The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are blackish with three blue-leaden fasciae, the first moderate and basal, the second and third broad, enclosing a triangular median costal blotch and confluent on the lower half, extending on the dorsum from one-fourth to near the tornus, sometimes partially whitish sprinkled. There is a similar hardly curved shade from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, white on the costa, almost confluent with the third fascia. A blue-leaden sometimes whitish-sprinkled streak is found along the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
