Schizovalva sarcographa is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark grey, somewhat mixed with pinkish towards the costa and a broad blackish streak from the base of the dorsum to fold at two-fifths of the wing, marked anteriorly with a pale ochreous dot, and cut posteriorly by an oblique pale ochreous mark which is continued by a similar dull rosy-pink mark to the costa at four-fifths. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
