Dichomeris prensans is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Brazil (Para, Amazonas) and Peru.[2]
The wingspan is 12–13 mm (0.47–0.51 in). The forewings are brownish-ochreous, often violet-tinged, sometimes obscurely strigulated with ferruginous-brown. There is a streak of dark brown suffusion along the costa from the base to five-sixths. The dorsal half is suffused dark violet-brownish, variably mixed or strigulated by dark ferruginous-fuscous, the stigmata sometimes perceptible as ferruginous-brown spots, the plical beyond the first discal. There is also a variable irregular narrow terminal fascia of dark brown suffusion. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
