Dichomeris uranopis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1894.[1] It is found in Burma.[2]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are orange-ferruginous, the apical two-fifths coppery-blackish. The markings are bright metallic green-blue, consisting of a streak along the anterior half of the costa and a streak along the submedian fold from the base to the middle of the wing. There is a rather narrow fascia separating the ferruginous and black portions, interrupted below the middle and not reaching the inner margin. There is also an irregular apical fascia, broken into spots on the lower part of the hindmargin. The hindwings are dark fuscous, darker and somewhat coppery-tinged on the posterior half.[3]
