Agonopterix dimorphella is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Clarke in 1941.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from South Carolina, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and Arkansas.[2]
The wingspan is 11-18 mm. The forewings are reddish-ochreous, suffused with fuscous. There is a fuscous median shade from the costa almost to the inner margin and there is a similar shade before the termen. There are two small black discal spots before the middle of the cell and a yellow discal spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are blackish fuscous.[3]
The larvae feed on Amorpha fruticosa.[4]
