Sorotacta bryochlora is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are rather dark olive green, with the tips of the scales ochreous whitish and with a small ochreous-whitish tuft on the middle of the costa, preceded by a spot of darker suffusion. The stigmata are darker, with the plical beneath the first discal. There is an indistinct shade of ochreous-whitish sprinkles from the costa at three-fourths to the tornus, indented beneath the costa. There are also indistinct darker marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
