Dichomeris lutivittata 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 about 15 mm (0.59 in). The forewings are mixed brownish and dark grey, appearing fuscous, becoming dark fuscous anteriorly, and narrowly along the termen. There is a broad pale greyish-ochreous costal streak from the base to about two-thirds, posteriorly suffused, with five or six black specks just beneath the costa and a small black mark at the base. The hindwings are grey.[3]
