Compsolechia stillata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Peru.[1]
The wingspan is 11-12 mm. The forewings are iridescent light brownish-ochreous, more or less irregularly mixed or wholly suffused grey except the apical area, and sprinkled dark fuscous. There are some irregular small spots of dark fuscous suffusion anteriorly, and the stigmata are sometimes similarly indicated, the plical somewhat before the first discal. The costal edge is more or less suffused dark fuscous, sometimes more broadly towards the subterminal line. There is an irregular tornal blotch of dark fuscous suffusion and an obtusely angulated series of small irregular whitish dots from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus. A short pre-marginal white dash is found before the apex, with a black dash above it and two below it. The hindwings are dark fuscous, in males with a large expansible grey hairpencil lying in the submedian groove.[2]
