Dichomeris rubiginosella

Dichomeris rubiginosella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864.^[1] It is found in Mexico (Tabasco, Veracruz), Peru and Brazil (Amazonas).^[2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are tawny reddish brown, the costa narrowly ochreous from the base to the apex. A slight oblique chestnut shade rests on the fold at one-third of its length pointing inward, and is succeeded by a dark brown spot in the fold above and scarcely before which is a similar dark brown discal spot succeeded by another at the end of the cell. About seven minute brownish shade-spots lie around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark umber-brown.^[3]
