Monochroa rutilella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Snellen in 1884. It is found in Russia (Amur region).[1]
The wingspan is 9.5-10 mm. The forewings are dark violet at the base with a green-silvery diagonal band from one-sixth to the fold. The remainder are shining coppery with two purple-silvery dots, one at two-thirds of the fold and the other halfway in the cell. The last one-third, at the tip, is red-coppery with a violet glow which intensifies towards the tip. The hindwings are blackish-grey with a coppery tinge.[2]
