Anacampsis cornifer is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, in 1897. It is found in the West Indies (St. Croix and St. Thomas). [1]

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are greyish ochreous, indistinctly speckled with fuscous, a black dot at the extreme base of the costa, two fuscous dots in the fold, two on the discal cell, a slight fuscous costal shade above the end of the cell, followed by a pale ochreous spot, a few fuscous scales lying around the apex and termen. There is a slight greyish suffusion across the middle of the wing, and beyond it from the pale costal spot a curved band, paler than the ground-colour, is indistinctly traceable across the wing. The hindwings are brownish grey.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Croton flavens. [2]
