Bagdadia isosema is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921.[1] It is found in Zimbabwe.[2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are grey, more or less speckled with whitish, with scattered dark fuscous scales and with a short fine black dash beneath the costa near the base, as well as two narrow semi-oval blackish almost adjacent blotches extending on the costa from about one-fifth to three-fifth, each followed by a raised tuft of scales that are whitish posteriorly. The stigmata are indicated by irregular angular spots outlined by scattered blackish scales and there is a curved-angulated subterminal series of suffused irregular dark fuscous spots, and a marginal series of cloudy spots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
