Athrips tigrina is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Algeria.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are greyish white, with the white scales mainly along the costal margin. The grey scales form diffuse dark spots at one-third and two-thirds of the costa and there are two very small spots of raised brown scales at two-thirds. The hindwings are light grey. Adults are on wing in September and from February to May.

The larvae feed on Nitraria tridentata.[2]
