Compsolechia solidella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]
Adults are cupreous ferruginous, silvery cinereous (ash gray) beneath, the forewings with a diffuse silvery-cinereous subcostal streak, and with a transverse submarginal patch of the same hue. This patch is bordered on the outer side by a denticulated white line, beyond which the wing is rather paler, and contains a deep black subapical dot and some deep black elongate white-marked submarginal points. The marginal line is dark ferruginous. The hindwings are dark brown.[2]
