Dichomeris jugata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico (Tabasco), Guatemala and Panama.[2]

The wingspan is 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in). The forewings are dark purplish fuscous, with an irregular upright dull ochreous patch on the middle of the dorsum, reaching to a little above the radius, narrowly outlined with dark fuscous accompanied by a few whitish scales. Beyond this is a small dark fuscous spot at the end of the cell, narrowly bounded above by a few whitish scales, obscurely extended toward the dorsum. There is a small triangular whitish spot on the costa before the apical depression, with an outward line of thinly scattered scales extending from it to the dorsum, as well as a series of minute whitish spots preceding the fuscous cilia. The hindwings are brownish fuscous.[3]
