Charistica sandaracota is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana. [1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are black with the base narrowly metallic blue green, extended as a thick streak along the dorsum to the middle and with interrupted yellow transverse streaks between this and the costa at one-sixth and before the middle, connected by costal and three other fine yellow longitudinal lines, with metallic-blue-green streaks between the first and second, and between the third and fourth. There is a narrow transverse violet-leaden median fascia, triangularly dilated posteriorly on the dorsum, edged with black. The wing beyond this is wholly deep red, except a yellow wedge-shaped mark on the costa beyond the median fascia, and an elongate violet-leaden spot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are dark fuscous. [2]
