Dichomeris lygropa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1903.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.[2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dull ochreous greenish with the costa more or less strigulated throughout with blackish. The markings are blackish with a dot in middle at one-fourth from the base, a second before the middle, the third beyond, the three forming a longitudinal series and more or less edged with a white dot and a fourth dot below and between the second and third, as well as an obscure row of dots along the termen and apical fourth of the costa. The hindwings are blackish.[3]
