Friseria repentina is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[1]

The wingspan is 12–16 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, mottled with fuscous and with a broad bluish fuscous band across their middle, occupying a space equal to half their length, its inner and outer margins both inclining to be concave and somewhat darker than the centre. There are a few reddish ochreous scales beyond the end of the cell, merged in a diffused fuscous shade extending to the apex. The hindwings are pale greyish brown, slightly transparent near their base.[2]
