Scrobipalpula hemilitha is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1965. It is found on the Galapagos Islands.[1]

The wingspan is 9–11 mm. The forewings are clay color, the costal half suffused greyish, irrorate with many white-tipped, dark grey scales. There are two clouded areas in the center of the wing. There are three dark grey discal stigmata, one at one-third in the cell, one in the fold slightly beyond the first and one at the end of the cell. The hindwings are light greyish fuscous.[2]
