Dichomeris horiodes is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923.[1] It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm (0.39 in). The forewings are pale ochreous with the costa slenderly suffused with grey from the base to two-thirds. The dorsal two-fifths is obscurely suffused with grey from near the base to the tornus and the discal stigmata are black, the first somewhat elongate. There is a terminal streak of dark grey suffusion from the apex to near the tornus. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
