Dichomeris ampycota is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is known from Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are purplish-fuscous, suffused with ferruginous-brownish except towards the costa anteriorly. The costal edge and cilia are ferruginous from three-fourths to the apex and the stigmata is obscure and dark fuscous, each marked with a grey-whitish dot. The discal is approximated and the plical smaller, rather before the first discal. There is also a spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the dorsum rather beyond the second discal. The hindwings are grey.[2]
