Palumbina nesoclera is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in India (the Andamans).

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey with the costal edge white from the base to four-fifths, beneath this a small basal patch of irregular whitish markings. There is a cloudy whitish spot from the costa at one-third reaching half across the wing, and two triangular whitish dots transversely placed at two-thirds, the lower rather anterior. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled in the disc.
