Palumbina chelophora is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, faintly violet-tinged and with an inwardly-oblique white fascia at two-fifths, rather broad on the costa and narrowed downwards, sometimes extended as a slender streak on the dorsum to near the base. There is an elongate-triangular white blotch in the disc beyond the middle, the upper edge almost reaching the costa throughout and a small cloudy pale fuscous or whitish spot near the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
