Filatima gomphopis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas .[1][2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, sometimes minutely speckled darker or with a few scattered blackish scales. The base of the costal edge is black and there is a small spot of greyish suffusion in the disc before the first stigmata. The plical and first discal stigmata are small or minute, black, accompanied by small pale yellow-ochreous dots, the plical somewhat anterior, the second discal forming a short thick black dash, all these surrounded with whiter suffusion. There is a small blackish spot on the costa before two-thirds, from beyond this a faint whiter angulated transverse shade more or less perceptible. The hindwings are light bluish-grey.[3]
