Compsolechia petromorpha is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm for males and 14 mm for females. The forewings are uniform rather dark violet-grey. The hindwings are dark grey, in males with a long light violet-grey hairpencil lying in the median fold and reaching the end of the cell, and a shorter but denser light grey hairpencil in the submedian fold.[2]
