Dichomeris achlyodes is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are grey with conspicuous blackish dots and a larger median dot at one-fifth, preceded by a smaller dot beneath the fold, a small median dot at two-fifths, preceded by a larger dot on the fold, a dot above the middle, and a median dot at three-fifths, a dot on the tornus, another between this and third median dot, and sometimes a dot preceding this last. There is a series of dots around the apex and on the termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
