Compsolechia phaeotoxa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are leaden-grey, with the stigmata in one example perceptible, cloudy and darker grey, the discal approximated, the plical rather before the first discal, but usually these stigmata are wholly obsolete. There is a dark fuscous slightly incurved fascia from five-sixths of the costa to the tornus, anteriorly suffused, posteriorly well-defined. Two or three cloudy dark fuscous dots are found on the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
