Metzneria agraphella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Ragonot in 1895. It is found in Algeria, Libya, Asia Minor and Palestine.[1]
The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, with a straight brownish ochreous streak along the cell, and another parallel to it below the costa, produced beyond the cell and diffused upward to the costa before the apex. A broad dark brownish ochreous line runs along the termen, and the cilia are almost entirely suffused with brownish ochreous in which there is only a faint indication of a median line. The hindwings are shining, dark purplish grey.[2]
