Athrips polymaculella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in the southern Krasnojarsk region (Minussinsk) and Chitinskaja oblast in Siberia,[2] China (Henan), Korea, Japan and Taiwan. There are records from the eastern part of European Russia (the southern Ural), but these need confirmation.[3]

The wingspan is 13–16 mm.[4] Adults are on wing in May in Korea and from the end of May to June in Russia.[5]
