Dichomeris xuthostola is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico (Tabasco).[2]

The wingspan is about 14.5 mm. The forewings are reddish ochreous, with a broad diffused ferruginous shade along the dorsum from the base, embracing the outer half of the fold, a slight shade of the same colour on the outer half of the costa reaching to the apex. There is a single brownish fuscous dot at the end of the cell and a narrow broken shade of the same colour around the apex and termen at the base of the ochreous cilia. The hindwings are brownish grey.[3]
