Dichomeris hamata

Dichomeris asteropis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The wingspan is 20-21 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous, sometimes faintly pinkish-tinged, rather thinly irrorated with dark grey. There is a cloudy grey dot midway between the first discal stigma and the base. The stigmata is cloudy, dark grey, each accompanied by a minute white dot, the plical somewhat before the first discal, the second discal transverse or double. There is a slightly oblique streak of grey suffusion from beneath the second discal stigma to the dorsum and a faint spot of pale suffusion on the costa at three-fourths, as well as some minute white marginal dots around the termen and tornus. The hindwings are grey.
