Bryotropha similis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It has a Holarctic distribution, including Greenland and Iceland. It is widespread in northern, central and eastern Europe. In southern Europe, it is only known from a few mountainous regions. It is also found throughout the Palaearctic.

The wingspan is 11–13 mm.[2] Adults have been recorded on wing from early June to late August, probably in one generation per year.
