Compsolechia dryocrossa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Pará.[1]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are ochreous fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with ochreous whitish, with the costal edge fuscous from the base to three-fourths and with indistinct fuscous dots above the fold near the base and at one-fifth. The stigmata are very indistinct, cloudy and fuscous, with the discal approximated, the plical slightly before the first discal. There is a very faint paler shade, hardly traceable, from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, indented above the middle. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
