Dichomeris leucostena is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[2]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are brownish fuscous, darker on the basal third than beyond it, with a broad darkened oblique shade parallel with the termen at three-fourths, and a small dark spot about the upper angle of the cell. There is a broad white band along the costa, including at its origin the whole base of the wing, except for a short dark streak along the extreme costa, and gradually attenuate to its apex at the commencement of the costal cilia. The hindwings are pale greyish.[3]
