Dichomeris aurisulcata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[2]
The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in). The forewings are dark violet fuscous, the costa more blue tinged and with variable more or less expressed ochreous-yellow or orange streaks between the veins, sometimes only slightly indicated, one along the fold sometimes strong. There is a roundish dark fuscous blotch in the disc before the middle, and a sub-oblique transverse blotch at three-fifths, these are sometimes partially edged with orange or wholly orange. The terminal edge is orange. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
