Dichomeris cellaria is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in India (Assam).[2]
The wingspan is 10–15 mm. The forewings are light bronzy-fuscous, with faint purplish reflections and with a suffused ochreous-white streak along the costa from the base to two-thirds. The first discal stigma is rather large, blackish, the plical hardly indicated, below the first discal, the second discal obsolete. There is a nearly straight or slightly curved white line from three-fourth of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, edged anteriorly with darker fuscous suffusion, and followed by a band of whitish-ochreous suffusion. A white line, marked with dark fuscous dots, runs around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
