Oncerozancla is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Oncerozancla euopa, which is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish largely suffused with brown, which forms a costal streak from the base to two-fifths, a large suffused postmedian blotch, and a slighter dorsal suffusion. There are five dark fuscous costal dots, the first two elongate. There is also a subcostal mark in the disc below the first and a large quadrangular spot in the disc at one-fourth, and another fuscous triangular spot at the apex, as well as an interrupted whitish terminal line and a fuscous dorsal mark at one-third, followed by dots before and on the tornus. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous with a large fuscous apical blotch produced along the termen.[2]
