Dichomeris exallacta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1926.[1] It is found in Peru.[2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm (0.59 in). The forewings are light grey, suffusedly irrorated whitish towards the costa and dorsum from about one-third onwards. The stigmata is cloudy, obscurely and indistinctly darker, the plical rather obliquely before first the discal. There is an obtusely angulated obscure whitish transverse shade at four-fifths, the terminal area beyond this suffusedly irrorated whitish. There are also indistinct dark grey marginal dots on the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
