Dichomeris seminata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found on the Seychelles, where it has been recorded from Aldabra.[2]
The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are ashy fuscous, with scattered black scales, posteriorly more numerous and tending to form a series between the veins. The extreme costal edge is ochreous whitish from the base to the middle and there is a blackish dot in the disc at one-fourth. The stigmata is cloudy, blackish, the discal approximated, the plical small, rather before the first discal. There is also a cloudy ochreous-whitish dot on the costa at two-thirds and a hardly defined curved shade of black irroration (sprinkles) from this to the tornus, as well as a series of black dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
