Compsolechia siderophaea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1910. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz, Tabasco).[1]
The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The forewings are greyish cinereous, profusely sprinkled throughout with whitish cinereous scales, leaving an ill-defined triangular umber-brown costal spot beyond the middle, with a shade of the same colour on the outer portion of the fold, and a straight umber-brown terminal band including the apex, preceded on the costa by an obscure pale ochreous spot. The hindwings are dark umber-brown.[2]
