Dichomeris sandycitis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1907.[1] It is found in China (Hong Kong) and India.[2]
The wingspan is 14-16.5 mm. The forewings are brown except for a dark brown area along the distal one-fourth of the costal margin and termen. The markings are red, consisting of a triangular spot near the base across the fold, a slightly S-shaped stripe at two-thirds, large spots at two-fifths and two-thirds of the cell, as well as at two-thirds and below one-third of the fold. There is also a slightly arched fascia from the costal three-fourths to near the tornus, with a short yellow streak on the inside anteriorly. The hindwings are greyish brown.[3]
