Dichomeris leuconotella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by August Busck in 1904.[2] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Nova Scotia to Maryland, southern Canada, Washington, Colorado, Iowa and Indiana.[3] The habitat consists of open fields.[4]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are dark purplish brown and shining. At the end of the cell is a conspicuous canary yellow, somewhat elongated, spot, and at apical third is a hardly visible triangular light-brown costal spot. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[5] Adults are on wing from June to September.
The larvae feed on Solidago uliginosa, Helianthus grosseserratus and Aster species.
