Dichomeris capnites is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. [1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and South Australia. [2]
The wingspan is 16–20 mm (0.63–0.79 in). The forewings are fuscous, indistinctly strigulated with dark fuscous, the costa rosy-tinged on the basal third, with a dark fuscous basal dot and an obscure dark fuscous spot in the disc at one-fourth. The stigmata is rather large, very obscure and dark fuscous, with the plical somewhat obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly. [3]
The larvae feed on the leaves of Acronychia species. [4]
