Garrha pyrrhopasta is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 20-24 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with patchy suffusion of reddish and sometimes also fuscous scales, sometimes, there is a darker suffusion on the dorsum from before the middle to the tornus. The stigmata is sometimes fuscous and distinct, but usually obscure or obsolete. The first discal dot is found at one-third, the plical beyond it and the second discal before two-thirds. The reddish irroration is more evident in the terminal area. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.
