Dichomeris praealbescens is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in China (Shanghai).[2]
The wingspan is 13–14 mm. The forewings are whitish, closely irregularly speckled with rather dark fuscous and with a cloudy spot of dark fuscous suffusion about the fold at one-fourth. The stigmata is represented by similar spots, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, these rather elongate, the second discal rather transverse. There is a triangular spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the costa towards the apex, edged anteriorly by a white strigula and posteriorly by a white apical spot, and with suffused white subterminal and terminal shades from these crossing the wing. The apical and terminal edge are finely dark fuscous. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
