Dichomeris vigilans is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Guyana.[2]
The wingspan is 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in). The forewings are light ochreous bronzy with a black dot on the base of the costa and an irregular black dot in the disc at one-fourth. The stigmata is black, the discal large and pale edged, with the plical small, beneath the first discal. There is a whitish-ochreous spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a slightly curved indistinct whitish-ochreous line runs to the tornus. There is also a row of black dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
