Gnorimoschema compsomorpha is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It was described by Kearfott in 1903. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New Mexico.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are uniform ochreous-brown, with the base narrowly white speckled dark grey and a slender white rather outwards-oblique fascia at one-fifth, speckled black on the dorsal half, connected with the base on the costa by whitish sprinkling. There is a rather inwards-oblique whitish fascia speckled black at three-fourths, preceded on dorsum by a similar triangular blotch confluent with it reaching three-fourhs across the wing and marked on the fold with a black dash. A slender irregular whitish streak speckled black is found round the posterior part of the costa and termen, interrupted by a black apical mark. The hindwings are light bluish-grey.[3]
