Dichomeris malachias 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 16-18 mm. The forewings are light greenish-ochreous, towards the costa whitish-ochreous with scattered dark fuscous scales. The costa edge is blackish towards the base and there is a dark fuscous dot in the disc at one-fourth. The stigmata is dark fuscous, the discal moderately large, whitish-ringed, the plical smaller, beneath the first discal. There are also two or three small marks of dark fuscous irroration on the costa posteriorly, as well as a very undefined narrow fascia of faint brownish suffusion with dark fuscous irroration from four-fifths of the costa close before the termen to the tornus and some dark fuscous terminal dots. The hindwings are grey.[3]
