Dichomeris georgiella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866. [2] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from south-eastern Canada and Maine, south to Florida, west to Texas, Oklahoma and Illinois. It has also been recorded from Colorado and Arizona. [3] [4]

The wingspan is 19–21 mm. The forewings are light ochreous fuscous sprinkled with black, the costal edge narrowly and faintly touched with brick red. There is a small inconspicuous second white discal spot at the end of the cell, edged with black and a similar even less conspicuous dot, consisting of a few scales on the middle of the cell. There is also a very faint row of black dots on the terminal edge, which is slightly darker than the rest of the wing. The hindwings are light fuscous. [5] Adults are on wing from March to October.

The larvae feed on Quercus coccinea and Quercus rubra .
