Aristotelia parephoria is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1951. It is found in Argentina.

The wingspan is 11-14  mm. The forewings are ochreous-white, with the dorsal half and apex overlaid with buff. From the base of the costa, and from the costa at one-third, blackish-fuscous bands extend to the fold, the latter band, outwardly curved, joins narrowly a fuscous shade at the outer third of the costa. The apex and tornus each with a small fuscous shade extended into the otherwise buff cilia. The hindwings are fuscous.
