Filatima albicostella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Washington, Kansas, Montana, Texas and Yukon.[1][2]
The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are yellowish white strongly suffused and irrorated with fuscous, except for the costal edge, and with a purplish luster. There are a few ill-defined, blackish-fuscous streaks in the cell, on the basal half of the wing. The hindwings are light purplish fuscous, darker towards the margins.[3]
