Compsolechia trachycnemis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru.
The wingspan is 14-16 mm. The forewings are ochreous-grey, dorsal two-fifths, a median streak to the termen beneath the apex with a branch to the dorsum before the tornus, a streak beneath the costa from the middle to the apex, and sometimes the dorsal area, suffused ochreous-whitish. There is an irregular blackish mark from the costa at the base and a transverse blackish fascia from the dorsum at one-fifth not reaching the costa. An almost blackish pre-marginal dot is found above the apex and two below the apex, preceded by whitish linear marks. The hindwings are dark fuscous, in males with an expansible greyish hairpencil lying in the anterior half of the submedian groove.
