Garrha atripunctatella is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Turner in 1896. [1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland [2] and New South Wales.

The wingspan is 19–22 mm. The forewings are pale pinkish-grey with jet-black markings. There is a discal dot before the middle, a second beyond the middle, a third on the fold obliquely beyond the first and a row of dots from the costa before the middle obliquely outwards, sharply bent in the disc at five-sixths, and continued to the hindmargin before the anal angle. There is also a very variable number of dots or scattered black scales in the disc and a row of black dots along the apical third of the costa and from the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are whitish, the apex and hindmargin sometimes pale-fuscous. [3]

The larvae feed on the dead leaves of Eucalyptus signata . [4]
