Compsolechia accinctella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas in Brazil and in Peru.[1]

Adults are dark cupreous brown, with the forewings thinly and minutely cinereous (ash gray) speckled and with a ferruginous band near the base, as well as a white transverse bi-denticulate line at five-sixths of the length, with three deep black streaks between it and the whitish marginal line.[2]
