Strobisia spintheropis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy fuscous with bright metallic-blue markings. There are discal and subdorsal dots towards base, an oblique spot beneath the costa at one-fourth and a dot beyond the apex of this, as well as small subdorsal spots at the middle and three-fourths, and one in the disc between these. There is an oblique streak from the costa in the middle and a slenderer one at three-fourths, and a dot in the disc at three-fourths. A thick purple-metallic streak is found along the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
