Anacampsis tephriasella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Vactor Tousey Chambers in 1872. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Illinois, Kentucky and Maine.[1][2]
The forewings are pale gray, about equally intermixed with white, becoming gradually darker gray and fuscous towards the tip, each of the darker scales tipped with white. There is a small, very oblique white streak or spot on the costa, just behind the middle, and at the beginning of the costal cilia the wing is crossed by a narrow white fascia. An indistinct fuscous hinder marginal line or row of spots is found at the base of the cilia.[3]
