Dichomeris setosella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860. [2] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New York to Florida, Manitoba, eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Kentucky. [3]

The forewings are dark brown, slightly dusted with pale ochreous. At the base of the costa is a pale ochreous irregularly triangular patch, slightly dusted with fuscous, angulated on the upper portion of the fold. The angle is margined beneath with blackish brown, with a small patch of the same hue between the angle and base of the wing, and a large one behind it extending from the subcostal nervure to the fold. Across the base of the nervules runs a pale ochreous line, on each side of which the wing is nearly uniform dark brown. The hindwings are yellowish brown. [4] Adults are on wing from March to November.

The larvae feed on Eupatorium and Vernonia species, as well as Verbesina virginica , Pinus strobus , Thuja occidentalis , Pluchea odorata and Ageratina altissima var. angustata. [5]
