Brachmia insulsa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in the Bengal region of what was then British India[2] and the United Arab Emirates.[3]

The wingspan is 12–16 mm. The forewings are light greyish ochreous with the stigmata dark fuscous, the plical slightly before the first discal. There are some cloudy dark-fuscous dots around the apex and termen, sometimes almost obsolete. The hindwings are ochreous-grey whitish.[4]
