Gelechia platydoxa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are dark purple fuscous with a broad almost basal ochreous-white band, the edge running from one-fourth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, irregular, followed by some ferruginous-brown suffusion, wider towards the costa. There is a spot of ferruginous-brown suffusion beneath the costa at two-thirds, followed by a semicircular white costal blotch at about three-fourths. The hindwings are dark grey, lighter and thinly scaled in the disc.[2]
