Dichomeris caryoplecta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930.[1] It is found in Brazil (Para).[2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are iron-grey, the costa suffused darker and the dorsal half tinged bluish or brownish. There is an oblique brown streak from the dorsum at one-fourth, reaching rather more than half across the wing. There is also a dark fuscous rhomboidal blotch occupying the dorsal half of the wing from three-fifth to the termen, the anterior half of the upper edge formed by a thick chestnut-brown streak. The apical and terminal edge are black, slightly edged whitish internally. The hindwings are grey.[3]
