Recurvaria comprobata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Japan, the Russian Far East (Primorye), Korea and China (Gansu, Shaanxi, Jilin).[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are white with blackish markings. There is a basal patch, with the edge running from the costa at one-fifth to the dorsum at two-fifths. There is a broad oblique posterior band, on the costa extending from two-fifths to three-fourths, suddenly narrowed near the dorsum to the tornus, its posterior angle confluent in the disc with a blotch on the costa just before the apex. The hindwings are light grey.[2]

The larvae feed on Sorbus comixta.
