Anomologa dispulsa is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1926.[1] It is found in South Africa.[2]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are white, with scattered black scales. The markings are irregular, grey suffusedly irrorated (speckled) black. There is a blotch on the costa almost at the base reaching half across the wing and a spot on the costa before the middle, as well as one beneath this in the disc connected anteriorly with another towards the dorsum. There is also a blotch on the costa at about three-fourths, with some irregular irroration beneath this towards the termen. There is an apical spot, and a slight irregular terminal streak. The hindwings are grey, the dorsal area partially suffused ochreous-whitish.[3]
