Palumbina nesoclera is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in India (the Andamans).[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey with the costal edge white from the base to four-fifths, beneath this a small basal patch of irregular whitish markings. There is a cloudy whitish spot from the costa at one-third reaching half across the wing, and two triangular whitish dots transversely placed at two-thirds, the lower rather anterior. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled in the disc.[2]
