Gelechia albisparsella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 15 mm.[3] Adults are dark brown, the forewings faintly suffused with ochreous and sparsely and indistinctly sprinkled with white scales, which at the beginning of the costal cilia become a little more distinct, forming a narrow, clouded whitish fascia pointing a little obliquely backwards.[4]
The larvae feed on Platanus occidentalis. They skeletonize the leaves of their host plant.[5]
