Dichomeris imbricata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in southern India and China (Guangdong).[2]
The wingspan is 19–20 mm (0.75–0.79 in). The forewings are brown somewhat mixed with whitish-ochreous and with a whitish-ochreous patch occupying the apical fourth of the costa. The anterior two-thirds of the costa is suffused with blackish, obliquely strigulated with pale ochreous. The stigmata is blackish, ill-defined, with the discal approximated and the plical near beyond the first discal.
