Dichomeris excoriata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in India (Assam).[2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, suffusedly strigulated with brownish except towards the costa anteriorly and with a few blackish scales. There are about ten black marks on the anterior half of the costa, anteriorly remote, posteriorly closely approximated. There is also a spot of brownish suffusion in the disc at one-fourth and an undefined triangular patch of brownish suffusion extending on the costa, from about the middle to four-fifths, its apex formed by a dark fuscous second discal stigma. There are some dark fuscous dots on the termen. The hindwings are iridescent-grey with the veins darker.[3]
