Dichomeris aulotoma is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917.[1] It is found in South Africa.[2][3]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a white streak along the costa from the base nearly to one-third, and a subcostal streak from beyond the extremity of this to the costa before the apex. There is a white subdorsal streak rising from the base of the dorsum and running to the termen beneath the apex, posteriorly somewhat ragged. The hindwings are grey.[4]
