Dichomeris ptychosema is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in Assam, India.[2]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in). The forewings are whitish ochreous, strigulated with fuscous and dark fuscous irroration (sprinkles) and with a small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa, a short mark in the middle, another beyond three-fourths, and several dots between these. There is also a small blackish-fuscous spot on the fold at one-fourth. The second discal stigma is moderate, dark fuscous, with the plical and first discal minute or obsolete, the plical beneath the first discal. The hindwings are iridescent grey.[3]
