Compsoctena aedifica is a moth in the family Eriocottidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908.[1] It is found in Gauteng, South Africa.[2]
The wingspan is 20–24 mm. The forewings are whitish, with scattered small blackish-fuscous strigulae. The costal edge is whitish ochreous and there are irregular markings formed of confluent cloudy blackish-fuscous strigulae, consisting of a small, sometimes partially obsolete, basal patch, a moderate fascia from one-third of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, another from three-fifths of the costa to the tornus, and a transverse spot from five-sixths of the costa, reaching half across the wing. The hindwings are ochreous whitish, more or less tinged with grey.[3]
