Pexicopia pycnoda is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, bronzy-tinged, irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous. This irroration appears to indicate faint darker fasciae at the base, one-third, two-thirds, and the apex. The discal stigmata are obscurely indicated. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[2]
