Schizovalva ebenostriga is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Janse in 1960. It is found in South Africa.

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous sprinkled with rather dark fuscous. The base of the costa is suffusedly irrorated dark fuscous and the stigmata are blackish, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, a small blackish dot between the first and second discal, some irregular fuscous suffusion between the stigmata. There is an undefined spot of fuscous suffusion on the costa at two-thirds and a marginal series of small irregular dark fuscous dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey.
