Sclerophantis is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Sclerophantis cyanocorys, which is found in Indonesia (Java).[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are dark grey irrorated pale grey. The stigmata are obscurely indicated by blackish-grey suffusion, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a costal streak of blackish-grey suffusion from before the middle gradually expanding to the origin of the cilia, where it ends abruptly. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
