Anarsia reciproca is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920.[1] It is found in southern India .[2]

The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are grey closely and suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish, especially towards the costa. There are some scattered blackish scales and a black line along the anterior portion of the fold, and a row of black scales posteriorly, a longitudinal line in the median portion of the disc and a shorter one between this and the termen, all these accompanied with more or less dark grey suffusion. The hindwings are grey, becoming hyaline (glass like) anteriorly except on the veins.[3]
