Compsolechia corymbas is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey with the markings dark bronzy fuscous suffused with black. There is an irregular-oval patch extending over the dorsum from the base to near the middle, and nearly reaching the costa near the base, edged above with a whitish line continued to connect with the anterior angle of the median blotch. Suffused elongate spots are found on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds, the latter followed by an inwardly oblique whitish mark. There is an irregular blotch in the middle of the disc and a small elongate spot indicating the second discal stigma. A small whitish mark is found on the dorsum just before the tornus, preceded by dark suffusion and a suffused dark blotch occupies the apical area. The hindwings are dark grey, whitish and thinly scaled in the disc towards the base.[2]
