Commatica chionura is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are dark violet-grey becoming blackish posteriorly. The stigmata are cloudy, blackish, sometimes more or less absorbed in the blackish suffusion, with the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a very oblique white strigula from the costa at two-thirds, where a faint interrupted whitish line runs to near the termen beneath the apex, then curved very near the termen to the tornus. A brown mark is found along the costa beyond this, terminated by a white pre-apical dot. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
