Anarsia spicata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Mozambique and South Africa.[1]

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are grey irrorated with whitish, with some scattered dark grey and blackish scales. There is a thick black submedian streak from the base to the middle, attenuated to a point, a median streak attenuated at both ends from before the middle of the disc to four-fifths, and an oblique dash from above the apex of this to the costa before the apex. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[2]
