Pexicopia nephelombra is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in). The forewings are light bronzy ochreous sprinkled with fuscous. The markings are cloudy, deep fuscous bronze. There is a basal fascia, and a broader fascia at one-third, connected by a dorsal suffusion. There is also an apical patch covering one-third of the wing. The hindwings are rather dark fuscous.[2]
