Dichomeris glenni is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1947.[2] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Ontario, Texas and Wisconsin.[3]

The wingspan is 16–22 mm. The forewings are cinereous, speckled with numerous minute, black irrorations. There are three ill-defined, small black spots near the base and at the basal two-fifths, in the fold, is a large black spot, as well as a larger one in the cell. There is also a bilobed, transverse, black spot at the end of cell. These discal spots are edged with golden ochreous. There is a narrow, ill-defined, outwardly angulate black fascia at outer four-fifths and there is a series of small black spots around the termen between the veins. The extreme edge of the costa is yellowish. The hindwings are greyish fuscous, darker toward the margins.[4] Adults are on wing from March to October.
