Anarsia veruta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918.[1] It is found in India (Bengal).[2]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are fuscous, somewhat sprinkled with paler and darker and with a suffused blackish longitudinal streak in the disc from two-fifths to four-fifths, and one or two short suffused dashes above the apex of this between the veins. The hindwings are light grey, thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]

The larvae feed on Inga dulcis.
