Dichomeris cachrydias is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1] It is found in Guyana and Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in). The forewings are dark fuscous, each more or less surrounded with fuscous suffusion coalescing with a broad streak of fuscous suffusion extending above the fold to the tornus. There is an undefined patch of fuscous suffusion towards the costa about three-fourths, and a streak along the termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
