Meridorma is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Meridorma thrombodes, which is found in Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is 6–7 mm. The forewings are blackish with three blackish spots on the costa near the base, at one-third, and two-thirds, and three in the disc obliquely beyond these respectively, the last two discal elongate, the last largest. There is a blackish dot on the fold before the second discal spot, and a cloudy spot on the tornus, as well as a small cloudy black apical spot, and sometimes a dot on the costa above it. The hindwings are rather dark grey, thinly scaled in disc.[2]
