Chionodes salva is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.[1] It is found in the West Indies.[2][3]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, with dark brownish-fuscous mottlings or ill-defined patches, the first at the base reaching the costa, but not the dorsum, is connected narrowly on the costa and along the fold with a second, which is larger and extends nearly to the middle of the wing but does not cross the fold, this is also narrowly connected along the costa with a smaller costal patch at two-thirds from the base, a few dark fuscous scales lying at the end of the cell below it. The hindwings are pale shining grey.[4]
