Pityocona probleta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. It is found on Guadalcanal.[1]

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are light buff overlaid with a mixture of drab and drab grey, sparsely sprinkled with blackish, blackish specks beneath the fold at one-fifth and beneath the costa at one-third. The stigmata are black, sometimes weakly ringed with greyish, the plical usually elongate, obliquely before the first discal and the second discal sometimes elongate, conspicuous. The hindwings are smoke grey.[2]
