Sattleria karsholti is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Peter Huemer and Paul D. N. Hebert in 2011. It is found in the southern Alps of Italy, from Monte Baldo in the west to Pizo Arera in the east.[1]

The wingspan is 17.5–20.5 mm. The forewings vary from light creamy brown to darker grey brown, rusty brown along the subcosta, fold and in the basal half. The medial part is mottled cream, with an indistinct angulate cream fascia at four-fifths, inwardly bordered by irregular transverse dark brown fascia. There are black markings, consisting of a dash in the fold, a subcostal spot at two-fifths and an angulated spot at three-fifths in the middle. There is also some black mottling at the base and along the costa and there are black dots on the termen. The hindwings are light grey. Adults are on wing from the end of June to mid-August.[2]
