Wikipedia Abstract

Dichomeris chlanidota is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1927. It is found on Sumatra. The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are bluish-grey with three fulvous-ochreous blotches, the first roundish, basal, not reaching the margins, the second at one-third, fasciate, angulated outwards below the middle, more or less distinctly reaching the dorsum but not the costa, partially infuscated interiorly, the third from the middle of the costa, fasciate, slightly oblique, reaching two-thirds across the wing, more or less infuscated interiorly. There is a transverse fulvous-ochreous streak at two-thirds, slightly inwards-oblique from the costa and rather sinuate inwards in the middle. The terminal area beyond this is blackish-grey. The hindwings are grey.
