Dichomeris ferruginosa is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in India (Assam), China (Zhejiang), Taiwan, Indonesia (Java) and Japan.[2]
The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous with the costa and dorsum suffused with ferruginous and strigulated with dark leaden-fuscous irroration. The stigmata is black, moderately large, the discal approximated, the plical beneath the first discal. There is an oblique narrow transverse fascia of ferruginous suffusion and dark leaden-fuscous irroration crossing the wing between the first discal and plical stigmata, and there is a streak of ferruginous suffusion and dark leaden-fuscous irroration along the termen. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and iridescent-semihyaline, the veins and termen suffused with darker.[3]
The larvae feed on Sesbania grandiflora.[4]
