Schizovalva catharodes is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1920. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white, irregularly sprinkled with black, mostly towards the margins. There is an irregular blackish transverse subbasal streak, shortly extended along the dorsum. The stigmata are represented by small irregular spots of dense black irroration, the plical beneath the first discal and touching it, the second discal larger and transverse, reaching to near the dorsum. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[3]
