Compsolechia dicax is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Peru.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light brownish with black subbasal dots on the costa and in the middle, as well as a flattened-triangular black blotch on the middle of the costa, reaching one-third of the way across the wing. The stigmata are hardly indicated. There is a small cloudy fuscous spot on the costa at three-fourths and a row of almost marginal dark fuscous dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen, as well as a row of fuscous marginal dots between these. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
