Dichomeris straminis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1881.[1] It is found in South Africa.[2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are brownish fuscous, with a very faint plum-coloured gloss and speckled about the base of the fold and costal margin with whitish grey scales. These are also found about the costal margin on the apical fourth of the wing. The hindwings are shining pale grey, with a very faint purplish tinge.[3]
