Monochroa agatha is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are ferruginous-brown with a very oblique indistinct darker streak from near the base of the costa to below the fold and a spot of deeper suffusion on the costa at one-third. The plical and first discal stigmata are deeper brown, faintly edged whitish posteriorly, the plical very obliquely anterior, the second discal dark fuscous, finely pale-edged. There are three costal and two terminal whitish dots towards the apex, the apical edge blackish between these. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
