Calliprora tetraplecta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dark violet-fuscous with two closely approximated whitish median lines from the base to one-third, a similar dorsal line, and a subdorsal line terminating in an oblique wedge-shaped mark reaching the middle of the disc. There is a transverse band composed of seven whitish nearly longitudinal lines at three-fourths, the uppermost subcostal, oblique, the third converging to the second, the fourth very short, the sixth oblique, the seventh dorsal. There is an angulated violet-silvery subterminal line, followed by an angulated ferruginous-brown terminal streak, with an arm extending along the apical prominence. The hindwings are dark fuscous, lighter anteriorly.[2]
