Dichomeris arquata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Hou-Hun Li, Hui Zhen and Wolfram Mey in 2013. It is found in Malawi. [1]
The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are dark brown, apically diffused with black scales and the costal margin with a greyish yellow spot at the distal one-fourth. The hindwings are grey.
The species name refers to the saccal region curved in a semicircular arch and is derived from Latin arquatus (meaning arched). [2]
