Dissoptila mutabilis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are pale yellowish-ochreous or whitish-ochreous, sometimes only faintly clouded with darker, often more or less wholly suffused with grey or dark grey irroration. The basal area is sometimes mixed with ferruginous-yellow and there are two large blackish tufts transversely placed in the disc at one-third. There are often longitudinal grey marks on the costa before the middle and about two-thirds. The hindwings are rather dark grey, paler and thinly scaled in the disc anteriorly.[2]
