Garrha cholodella is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1883.^[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.^[2]

The wingspan is 18–20 mm. The forewings are glossy fuscous, almost wholly overlaid with whitish-ochreous-grey scales and faintly pinkish-tinged. The costal edge is purple fuscous, the tips of the scales whitish and there is a dark fuscous dot in the disc before the middle, a second, larger and indistinctly double in the disc beyond the middle, and a third rather obliquely beyond the first on the fold. The purple-fuscous ground colour forms a small spot on the costa, its apex tending to be connected with the second discal dot, and also giving rise to an obsolete sinuous-dentate transverse line proceeding obliquely outwards, sharply bent in the disc, and continued to the inner margin before the anal angle, most distinct in the disc. There is also a row of purple-fuscous dots along the hindmargin and the apical fourth of the costa. The hindwings are whitish grey, darker posteriorly.^[3]
