Schizovalva mesacta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is found in Gauteng, South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, suffused with reddish brown towards the dorsum and a short streak of blackish suffusion on the base of the dorsum and a blackish streak along the fold from near the base to beyond one-third. The discal stigmata are rather approximated, blackish and connected by red-brownish suffusion, beneath which adjacent to each is an additional less defined group of blackish scales. There is a narrow undefined slightly angulated red-brownish fascia at about three-fourths. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
