Dichomeris lypetica is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[2]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are brownish fuscous, very minutely speckled with pale cinereous and with a group of spots scarcely distinguishable in a slightly darker shade of brownish fuscous, the first discal spot a little preceding the plical. There is some obscure shading which faintly indicates an ante-terminal band, bowed outward at its middle, and a terminal line preceding the pale cinereous cilia which are much mixed with fuscous. The hindwings are pale cinereous.[3]
