Craspedotis pragmatica is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]
The wingspan is 10–11 mm (0.39–0.43 in). The forewings are whitish, irregularly mixed with fuscous and sprinkled with dark fuscous, the dorsal half sometimes suffused with light brownish. There is a bar of dark fuscous suffusion from the costa almost at the base to beneath the fold at one-fourth. The stigmata are rather large and dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, the second discal transverse. The hindwings are pale grey, thinly scaled and darker grey posteriorly.[2]
