Dichomeris claviculata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1909.[1] It is found in Mozambique and South Africa (Gauteng).[2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are glossy fuscous-grey, sprinkled with black, especially towards the margins. The costal edge is whitish-ochreous on the anterior half, with a black basal dot. There is a slightly curved slender black bar in the disk at two-fifths representing the plical and first discal stigmata. A very small whitish-ochreous spot is found on the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are grey.[3]
The larvae feed on Combretum species.
