Dichomeris lissota 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 about 22 mm. The forewings are glossy lilac-brown with an oblique-oval dark ochreous-brown spot in the disc at one-third, obscurely whitish-edged. There is a small round blackish-fuscous whitish-edged spot representing the second discal stigma and a dark fuscous mark along the costa from the middle to three-fourths, where a slender dark ochreous-brown fascia crosses immediately beyond the second discal stigma to the dorsum before the tornus, edged posteriorly by a pale ochreous slightly bi-sinuate line. A dark brown line runs along the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark fuscous.[3]
