Dichomeris corniculata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in Assam, India and Guangdong, China.[2]

The wingspan is 21–23 mm (0.83–0.91 in). The forewings are fuscous or brownish, sometimes slightly reddish tinged and with the costal edge yellow ochreous from the base to an elongate-triangular black spot on the middle of the costa, of which the lower part is sometimes brown. There is an oblique dark fuscous or ochreous-brown spot on the fold before one-third, often nearly obsolete, the second discal stigma small, ochreous brown or dark fuscous, sometimes accompanied by a few whitish scales, the first discal sometimes also indicated. There is a pale ochreous line from the costa beyond the black spot to the dorsum before the tornus, curved inwards beneath the costa, sometimes almost obsolete, or edged anteriorly with ochreous-brown suffusion. There are some ill-defined dark fuscous dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are fuscous.[3]
