Pseudochelaria walsinghami is a small gelechiid moth described by Dietz in 1900. It is widely distributed across eastern and central North America, with records from 15 U.S. states. The species has a wingspan of approximately 17 mm and exhibits distinctive forewing patterning with dark brown markings, a longitudinal stripe, and a whitish apical fascia. Larvae feed on staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), living under white silk webs on leaf undersides and along petioles.
