Anacampsis lithodelta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru.

Description

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey-ochreous with a large blackish triangular blotch extending over the median third of the costa and reaching more than half across the wing. There are undefined slight transverse marks of dark grey irroration beyond the apex of this and above the middle of the dorsum, as well as a fine angulated line of dark grey irroration from a blackish dot on the costa at three-fourths to the tornus. The terminal area beyond this is brownish-tinged and there is a blackish marginal line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.
