Dichomeris siren, the least dichomeris moth, is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Hodges in 1986.[1] It is found in the United States, where it has been recorded from Maryland, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.[2][3]

The length of the forewings is 3.1-3.8 mm. The forewings are brown with a continuous yellowish-orange strip that starts at about two-thirds and runs along the costa, diagonally to the inner margin, angling back to the costa and then to the base. The terminal area is yellowish orange with a line of brown spots, and there is a yellowish-orange patch along the inner margin near the base. The hindwings are grayish brown. Adults are on wing from May to October.[4]
