Thiotricha chrysopa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm (0.39 in). The forewings are shining pale grey, with brassy and purplish reflections and there is a pale ochreous-yellow patch occupying the apical fourth of the wing, the upper half suffused with orange, the anterior edge convex, enclosing a longitudinal dark grey median dash. There is also a black apical dot, connected with a dark grey mark along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
