Charistica rhodopetala is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil. [1]

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are blackish with the basal two-fifths suffused with dark blue except on the costa and with an incomplete narrowly transverse-oval whitish ring before the middle from beneath the costa to below the fold. There is a narrow shining indigo-blue postmedian fascia not quite reaching the margins, expanded posteriorly towards the dorsum, and an oval blotch in the disc at three-fourths not reaching the margins. A triangular whitish spot is found on the costa at four-fifths, followed by a small blackish spot. The apical fifth of the wing beyond these markmgs forms a coppery-red blotch with violet gloss. The hindwings are dark fuscous. [2]
