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.
