Dichomeris adelocentra is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920. It is known from Java in Indonesia. [1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are greyish ochreous with the stigmata obscure, indistinct and fuscous, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a small blackish-grey elongate mark on the middle of the costa, preceded and followed by ochreous-whitish suffusion and there is a fine blackish-grey marginal line around the apex, and two or three dark grey dots separated by whitish on each side of it. The hindwings are slate grey. [2]
