Dicranucha serialis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Equateur, Katanga), Mozambique and South Africa (Gauteng).[1][2]
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous suffusedly irrorated with fuscous and with blackish basal dots on the costa and in the middle. The stigmata are blackish, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a row of undefined blackish dots immediately before the termen and apical part of the costa, terminating in a small suffused dark fuscous pre-tornal spot. The hindwings are grey.[3]
The larvae feed on Coleus species.
