Strobisia sapphiritis is a moth belonging to the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914 and is found in Guyana.^[1]

The wingspan of this species ranges from 12 to 13 mm. The forewings are bronzy blackish with metallic-blue markings. These markings include a dot near the base in the middle, a curved oblique series of three towards the base, and one beneath the fold at one-fourth. There is also an oblique strigula originating from the costa at one-third, accompanied by a dot beneath it. Additionally, an oblique streak from the middle of the costa reaching halfway across the wing and a triangle irregularly outlined on the dorsum beyond the middle, reaching nearly halfway across the wing. A curved, irregular submarginal streak runs from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, being thickest opposite the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
