Compsolechia binotatella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

Adults are cupreous-brown, the forewings with two black points at the base and with a black spot in the disc near the base and a white transverse line at five-sixths of the length, traversed by an interrupted black streak, and forming an acute exterior angle, which emits a streak towards the border. There are a few slight white longitudinal submarginal streaks and a broad black streak along the tip of the costa.[2]
