Chionodes scotodes is a moth in the Gelechiidae family.[1] It is found in Mexico (Sonora).[2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark tawny fuscous with three spots darker than the ground colour, two discal and one plical, the plical immediately below the first discal, accompanied by a few pale scales. There is a small whitish spot at the commencement of the costal cilia, without indication of a transverse fascia. The hindwings are bluish grey, overspread with brownish scales, more thinly along the cell and at the base.[3]
