Compsolechia secretella

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