Compsolechia salebrosa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found on the Galápagos Islands and in Colombia and Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is 9–10 mm (0.35–0.39 in). The forewings are whitish, more or less sprinkled or irrorated with grey, especially on the dorsal two-thirds. The costal edge is blackish anteriorly, with a fine oblique black strigula at one-fourth, and an elongate black spot in the middle. There are indistinct dark fuscous dots obliquely placed above and below the fold at one-fourth. The stigmata are indistinct and dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is sometimes some irregular light brownish suffusion in the disc and a transverse white line is found from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, angularly indented outwards in the middle, edged on the costa on both sides with small blackish spots, and preceded by a slender light brownish fascia. There is a light brownish line around the posterior part of the costa and termen, marked with black on the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
