Anarsia semnopa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe. [1]

The wingspan is 11–14 mm. The forewings are pale grey suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with white, with a few scattered black scales and a black dot on the base of the costa, as well as slight strigulae before and beyond one-fourth. There is a semi-oval blackish spot on the middle of the costa and an oblique blackish spot in the disc somewhat before this, resting on a streak of grey suffusion mixed with blackish along the fold to near the extremity, connected with the dorsum by suffused spots before the middle and at four-fifths. There is an elongate black mark in the disc at three-fourths and a small grey spot on the costa above this, as well as a streak of grey suffusion along the termen, mixed with blackish on the tornus. The hindwings are grey, anteriorly thinly scaled and subhyaline (almost glass like) with violet-blue iridescence. [2]
