Dichomeris dryinodes is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1897. [1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. [2]
The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with minute, darker-fuscous dots, more pronounced along the costa and veins towards the hindmargin, where they appear in longitudinal rows. There are also three oblique, transverse rows of similar spots from one-fourth of the costa to about one-fourth of the inner margin, one from the middle of the costa to before the middle of the inner margin and another from near three-fourths of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin. The hindwings are fuscous. [3]
