Dichomeris chalcophaea is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1921.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]
The wingspan is 10–11 mm (0.39–0.43 in). The forewings are rather dark bronzy-fuscous, obscurely irrorated grey-whitish. The stigmata are cloudy, obscure, dark fuscous, the discal approximated, the second transverse, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a distinct angulated thick dark coppery-fuscous line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, edged anteriorly by a faint line of whitish irroration. The apical edge is coppery-bronze. The hindwings are fuscous.[3]
