Ptychovalva obruta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921.[1] It is found in South Africa[2] and Zimbabwe.[3]
The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white with a few dark grey specks posteriorly. The stigmata are moderate and blackish-grey, with the discal nearly approximated and the plical very obliquely before the first discal. There is narrow fuscous suffusion along the costa from the middle to three-fourth, as well as some small terminal groups of blackish irroration. The hindwings are whitish.[4]
