Filatima neotrophella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas. [1] [2]

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are black, marked with overlaid white scales, forming an oblique, basal greyish-white patch which is widest on the dorsum. There is also an obscure, rather broad median fascia consisting of a narrow, oblique median streak clouded with greyish before and behind. The hindwings are pale smoky fuscous, somewhat shaded with black towards the apex.

The larvae feed on Mimosa berlandieri . They tie the leaves of their host plant and spin a silken tube. [3]
