Symbolistis argyromitra is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[2]

The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are whitish, the dorsal half ochreous-tinged and more or less irrorated with dark fuscous. The stigmata are dark fuscous, rather obscure, with the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a wedge-shaped dark fuscous blotch, suffused beneath with yellow-ochreous, along the costa from the middle to three-fourth, acute anteriorly. There is also some ochreous suffusion towards the apex, edged on the costa with blackish. The hindwings are grey.[3]
