Anarsia vectaria is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Mozambique and South Africa.[1]

The wingspan is 8-13 mm. The forewings are pale grey finely irrorated with white and with small black dots on the costa at the base and one-fifth, and one towards the costa near the base. There is a triangular blackish blotch extending on the costa from one-third to three-fifths and nearly reaching the fold, its apex subtruncate. A small black dot is found below the fold near before the apex of this. There are some indistinct blackish-grey dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are subhyaline-prismatic, posteriorly suffused with dark grey, with the veins dark grey.[2]
