Compsolechia scopulata is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Brazil. [1]

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are pale greyish ochreous suffusedly mixed with grey and white, the costa suffused with white anteriorly. There is a large dark grey blotch extending along the dorsum from the base to two-thirds and reaching two-thirds across the wing, its edge irregularly projecting and margined with white, rounded off posteriorly. There is an oblique white strigula from the costa at two-thirds, followed by a triangular dark grey patch. Beyond this is a white costal spot, edged beneath by a black mark, from which a slightly curved narrow silvery-whitish-grey pre-marginal fascia runs to the tornus, cut by two black dashes towards the middle. The hindwings are dark fuscous, becoming blackish posteriorly. [2]
