Dichomeris phoenogramma is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930.[1] It is found in Pará, Brazil.[2]
The wingspan is about 17 mm (0.67 in). The forewings are lilac grey partially sprinkled with brownish and with the costa slenderly dull rosy from the base to three-fourths. The extreme edge is ochreous and the markings are fulvous brown, consisting of a short irregular transverse line in the disc at one-fifth, a rather curved irregular transverse streak before the middle from towards the costa to beneath the fold, a dot beyond the apex of this, a slender irregular streak on the transverse vein, an irregular undefined transverse shade near beyond this, not crossing the costal streak, and a similar irregular shade from the costa at four-fifths to the tornus. There is also a marginal series of black triangular dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
