Isophrictis actinopa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas.[1][2]

The wingspan is 13–15 mm. The forewings are light grey, sometimes slightly tinged with ochreous and with a faint line of whitish scales indicated on the fold. The plical and first discal stigmata are fuscous, somewhat elongate, the plical obliquely anterior, the second discal dot like and black. There is a fine very oblique white striga from the costa about four-fifths, and a faint one from the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey.[3]
