Rhadinophylla siderosema is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. It has also been recorded from Fiji.[2]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are whitish closely irrorated with grey except towards the costa. The costal edge towards the base is dark-fuscous and there are some dark-fuscous dots, one on the fold at one-sixth, the first discal at one-third, the second discal at two-thirds and the plical beyond the first discal. There is a costal dot at two-thirds, another at the tornus, the two connected by a narrow transverse ferruginous fascia, which touches the second discal dot. There is also a series of ferruginous-fuscous dots on the termen and apical third of the costa. The hindwings are grey.[3]
