Anthistarcha binocularis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. [1] It is found in Brazil (Bahia). [2]

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are grey with the tips of the scales white, forming a close minute irroration. Scattered black scales sometimes form longitudinal streaks, especially on the dorsal half anteriorly, and one from the end of the cell to beneath the apex. There is a light grey tuft irrorated with black representing the plical stigma and there is an 8-shaped light yellow-ochreous spot edged with raised black scales on the end of the cell. Two or three sometimes indistinct black oblique strigulae are found on the costa at about two-thirds, and an interrupted black costal line runs towards the apex. The hindwings are pale bluish-grey.

Larvae have been recorded feeding in twigs of Anacardium occidentale . [3]
