Schizovalva triplacopis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1912. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are fuscous sprinkled with dark fuscous and somewhat mixed with ochreous whitish. There is a small dark fuscous spot beneath the costa near the base, followed by a spot of ochreous-whitish suffusion. The stigmata are rather large, blackish and edged posteriorly by spots of ochreous-whitish suffusion and anteriorly more or less with brown, the plical much before the first discal. There is a spot of ochreous-whitish suffusion on the costa at four-fifths. The hindwings are grey.[3]
