Tabernillaia is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Tabernillaia ephialtes, which is found in Panama.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy fuscous, with a slight coppery tinge about the middle of the wing in a strong light. An outwardly oblique, ovate, snow-white patch descends from the costa, at about one-sixth, slightly overreaching the fold. Another, rounded, rather smaller white spot lies on the costa at about one-fourth from the apex. The hindwings are shining, pale bronzy grey.[2]
