Deltophora stictella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Spain, southern France and Italy.[1][2]

The length of the forewings is 6-7.5 mm. The forewings are grey or grey-brown, but the apical portion beyond the end of the cell is sometimes darker than the basal two-thirds of the wing. Adults have been recorded on wing from the last third of June to mid-August, at altitudes between 700 and 2,000 meters. There seems to be one generation per year.
