Ornativalva pulchella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Sattler in 1976. It is found in Mongolia.[1]
The wingspan is 6–7 mm. The anterior half of the forewings is dark brown, with the markings angulate at the fold. The posterior half is light brown up to the apex. There is a small, sometimes indistinct, dark dot at the end of the cell. Adults have been recorded on wing in mid-June.
The host plant is unknown, but might be a Tamarix species.[2]
