Dichomeris hypochloa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico (Sonora)[2] and the southern United States, where it has been recorded from Arizona.[3]
The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are pale cream-ochreous, with a brownish spot at the end of the cell, preceded by another beyond the middle of the fold, both very faintly indicated. There is a strong dark chestnut-brown streak along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are rosy grey, with a very pale ochreous cilia.[4]
