Garrha rufimaculella is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1896.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are pinkish-ochreous, with scattered scales of a deeper pink forming indistinct markings and a dot in the disc before the middle, a second beyond the middle and a faintly indicated line from the middle of the costa obliquely outwards, sharply bent in the disc at five sixths, and continued parallel to the hindmargin to the inner-margin before the anal angle. There are many faint pink dots along the hindmargin, and in the disc showing a tendency to form anterior and median lines. The hindwings are whitish, tinged with grey towards the hindmargin.[3]
