Compsolechia eupecta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Brazil.[1]
Compsolechia eupecta's wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are grey with an indistinct dark fuscous dot in the disc at one-fourth. The moth's stigmata are small, indistinct and dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a grey-whitish slightly incurved subterminal line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, edged anteriorly by a narrow fascia of dark fuscous suffusion. There is also a series of blackish dots around the apical portion of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
