Dichomeridinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Gelechiidae.
Distribution Almost worldwide, except the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
Diversity The subfamily formerly included three tribes, about 29 genera and about 900 species. However, a 2013 study moved the Chelariini to the subfamily Anacampsinae.
