Dichomeris procyphodes is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[2]
The wingspan is 15–16 mm (0.59–0.63 in). The forewings are rather dark purple, paler towards the costa anteriorly and with a dorsal streak of dark ferruginous-brown suffusion from near the base to beyond the middle. There is an oblique rather dark brown streak in the middle of the disc and a dark ferruginous-brown costal streak from two-fifths to the apex, attenuated anteriorly, on the posterior half suffused beneath and with the extreme costal edge whitish, anteriorly better defined by a streak of whitish-grey-ochreous suffusion. There is an indistinct small dark brownish spot on the end of the cell, the wing beyond this irregularly suffused with brownish. There is also a faint pale curved dentate subterminal line, edged posteriorly by darker suffusion and there is a dark ferruginous-fuscous marginal line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[3]
