Dichomeris miltophragma is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in the Brazilian states of Pará and Amazonas and in Peru.[2]
The wingspan is 13–16 mm (0.51–0.63 in). The forewings are leaden grey, with three oblique vermillion-red blotches edged by dark brown red and then whitish, first on the base of the dorsum, the second from beneath the costa at one-fourth to near the middle of the dorsum, the third traversing the disc at two-thirds. There is an irregular-edged ferruginous line margined by pale ochreous running around the posterior two-fifths of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
