Isophrictis pallidastrigella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chambers in 1874. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas and California.[1][2]

The forewings are pale orange, but paler, nearly white along the dorsal margin, and on the extreme costa beyond the middle. There is a narrow, indistinct, whitish line along the fold, ending at a small brown spot and there is also an oblique, narrow, whitish streak along the base of the costal ciliae, continuous with the white of the extreme costa, and there is a short one along the base of the dorsal ciliae. A minute brownish spot is surrounded by a pale ring at the end of the disc, and an oblique brownish streak in the ciliae at the apex. The brown spots are all indistinct.[3]
