Gnorimoschema splendoriferella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck in 1904. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Washington.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are shining, intense purplish red with a narrow costal margin and the apical part of the wing mottled with white and bluish black scales. There is a basal subcostal longitudinal streak, and an ill-defined yellow dorsal and costal spot at the beginning of the cilia.[3]
