Dichomeris fulvicilia is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm (0.63–0.67 in). The forewings are pale ochreous, thinly speckled with dark brown and with a rather broad ill-defined streak of dark brown suffusion beneath the middle from the base of the dorsum to the termen beneath the apex. There is a slender suffused dark brown streak along the costa from the middle to near the apex, as well as a dark fuscous terminal interrupted line or series of dots. The hindwings are grey.[3]
