Telphusa nephelaspis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in north-western India.[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are whitish irrorated dark grey and with a dark grey rounded patch extending over the dorsum from near the base to the middle and reaching three-fourth across the wing, its upper edge including a blackish raised spot. The first discal stigma forms a very oblique black bar, the second a black dot and there are three irregular dark grey spots before the termen and apex. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and pellucid in the disc and towards the base.[2]
