Telphusa latebricola is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found on the British Virgin Islands (Thatch island).

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish irrorated grey with three small elongate blotches of dark grey suffusion on the costa towards the base, at one-third, and three-fifths, the third followed by an obscure whitish dot. The stigmata is indicated by short fine blackish dashes, the first discal suffused brownish, the plical least marked, slightly before the first discal, the second discal strongest, two other slight blackish-grey dashes in a line beyond this. There are some obscure blackish-grey marks on the margins towards the apex. The hindwings are light grey.
