Dichomeris famulata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Guyana, Colombia, Brazil , Peru and Trinidad.[2]
The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are whitish ochreous, with scattered dark fuscous scales and with the costa narrowly suffused with fuscous from the base to four-fifths, with more or less indicated darker dots and strigulae and dark fuscous dots beneath the fold at one-fourth, and above the fold beyond this. There is a blackish dot towards the costa before the middle. The stigmata is blackish, the first discal small, the plical somewhat obliquely beyond it. There is a series of blackish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline (almost glass like) anteriorly.[3]
