Anacampsis comparanda 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 Arizona and Texas.[1][2]

The wingspan is 13โ€“14 mm. The forewings are grey, somewhat sprinkled whitish, with some blackish scales. The stigmata form small suffused rather darker grey spots, the plical rather before the first discal, a similar spot in the disc at one-fourth. There are whitish opposite dots on the costa and dorsum at two-thirds, four or five small blackish marginal dots around the apex. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
