Sphagiocrates chersochlora is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales and with a broad costal streak of fuscous irroration from the base terminated by an oblique spot of dark fuscous irroration at one-fifth, beyond the apex of this a spot of dark fuscous irroration crossing the fold and similar small spots on the dorsum at the base and one-fifth. The plical and first discal stigmata are represented by cloudy spots of fuscous and dark fuscous irroration, the plical rather posterior, the second discal at four-fifths, distinct and dark fuscous. Between the discal stigmata are two short dashes of fuscous and dark fuscous irroration. The terminal area is suffusedly sprinkled with fuscous. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.[2]
