Dichomeris adelocentra is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1920. It is known from Java, Indonesia.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous with the stigmata obscure, indistinct and fuscous, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a small blackish-grey elongate mark on the middle of the costa, preceded and followed by ochreous-whitish suffusion and there is a fine blackish-grey marginal line around the apex, and two or three dark grey dots separated by whitish on each side of it. The hindwings are slate-grey.[2]
The larvae feed on Bridelia tomentosa.
