Compsolechia cassidata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark violet-leaden-grey with the base slenderly dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous transverse streak at one-sixth and a suffused dark fuscous streak from the fold at two-fifths of the wing slightly upcurved to the costa beyond the middle. A suffused dark fuscous streak is found from the disc beyond the middle to the costa just above the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
