Leuronoma nigridorsis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Zimbabwe and South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, with a few dark fuscous specks and a subtriangular dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa, as well as a narrow suffused dark fuscous streak along the dorsum from near the base to the tornus. The plical and second discal stigmata are small and dark fuscous and there is a rather elongate spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the costa at three-fourths. Some pale brownish suffusion is found towards the upper part of the termen and there is a small blackish mark on the apical edge, and a dot on the termen beneath it. The hindwings are rather dark grey, lighter and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
