Dichomeris sciritis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Chennai, India.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous, with the base of costal edge dark fuscous and with a white costal line from the base to the middle, thence continued around the margin of a fine elongate wedge-shaped dark fuscous mark lying along the costa beyond the middle, its acute end anterior. There is a small black whitish-edged apical dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
