Filatima biminimaculella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.[1][2]

Adults are similar to Filatima pseudacaciella, but are a little darker and lack the white dusting in the apical part of the wing. There is also a small ochreous spot on each side of the apex of the thorax. Otherwise, the species resemble closely being brown with a faint purplish hue, more or less distinctly streaked longitudinally, with ochreous within the costal margin.[3]
