Dichomeris ellipsias is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Peru.[2]

The wingspan is about 11 mm (0.43 in). The forewings are rather dark grey with a rather oblique transverse elliptical blackish blotch at one-third, yellowish-edged, nearly reaching the dorsum, not nearly reaching the costa. There is also a round blackish yellowish-edged spot in the disc before three-fourths, as well as a moderately broad blackish fascia from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, anteriorly edged by a yellow-ochreous line indented in the middle. There are also triangular blackish marginal dots around the apex and termen, separated anteriorly with ochreous-whitish. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
