Compsolechia leucorrhapta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, sometimes slightly sprinkled with whitish and with a black dot near the base in the middle. There is a suffused black spot on the fold at one-fifth. The stigmata are faintly indicated and there is a fine slightly interrupted white subterminal line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, angulated in the middle. An oval black spot is found near the costa before the apex, and a short black dash above it. There is also a clear white dash towards the apex, with several indistinct short whitish marks between this and the tornus more or less indicated, and a black dash before the termen in the middle. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
