Dichomeris aequata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Guyana and Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is 13–16 mm (0.51–0.63 in). The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, irrorated with fuscous except towards the costa anteriorly. There is a small blackish dot on the base of the costa and the stigmata are moderate, blackish and obscurely whitish-edged, the plical beneath the first discal. There is a faint pale greyish-ochreous slightly curved shade from three-fourth of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus and there is a row of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
