Ornativalva plicella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Sattler in 1976. It is found in southern Iran.[1]
The wingspan is 6-7 mm. The forewings are dark grey-brown, but ochreous between the fold and inner margin. The dividing line between the dark and light area is W-shaped at the fold. The inner margin is dark brown at the base, but no distinct basal streak is separated. There is also an indistinct black dot at the end of the cell and an indistinct light mark on the costa at two-thirds, while there is no distinct outer transverse line. The apex of the wing is ochreous, with an indistinct line of short dark streaks at the base of the fringes. Adults have been recorded on wing in April.[2]
