Pexicopia pycnoda is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, bronzy-tinged, irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous. This irroration appears to indicate faint darker fasciae at the base, one-third, two-thirds, and the apex. The discal stigmata are obscurely indicated. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
