Asapharcha strigifera is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1920.[1] It is found in South Africa.[2]
The wingspan is 17-18 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, the costal edge ochreous-yellow and with irregularly strewn dark fuscous transverse strigulae arranged along the costa from the base to about three-fourth, and forming a sparse irregular group towards the median third of the dorsum, and a denser patch suffused in the centre between the cell and termen. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical somewhat elongate, beneath the first discal. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
