Compsolechia glaphyra is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1910. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz).[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are olivaceous leaden grey, with a fuscous dot close to the base of the cell, a slightly oblique dorsal streak at about one-sixth, extending across the fold, brownish fuscous, margined on either side with rich ferruginous scales. An obscure dot in the fold beyond its middle is followed by a discal dot above it, and another at the end of the cell. A rich ferruginous band crosses the wing at the commencement of the cilia, its upper and lower extremities shaded obliquely inward with dark brown. There is a series of small fuscous spots around the termen and apex at the base of the glaucous cilia, which are tipped with pale cinereous. The hindwings are dark brown.[2]
