Neotelphusa limenaea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are dark grey, with the tips of the scales very finely whitish and the extreme base mixed with black. There is a broad white antemedian fascia edged with blackish anteriorly and preceded by a brown subcostal mark, its posterior half not reaching the costa and marked with a black subcostal dot in an indentation, its posterior margin followed by a brown transverse spot in the disc, opposite white costal and tornal spots at three-fourth, their anterior angles connected by a black mark, above and beneath which is some brownish suffusion. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
