Dichomeris pyrrhitis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911.[1] It is found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.[2]

The wingspan is 15-16 mm. The forewings are ferruginous-brownish, irregularly mixed with rather dark grey and with the costal edge ochreous. The stigmata is deep ferruginous-brown, the plical beneath the first discal, a similar less marked dot midway between the first discal and the base. There is a more or less developed small pale ochreous spot on the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
