Dichomeris tenextrema is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Hou-Hun Li, Hui Zhen and Wolfram Mey in 2013. It is found in Kenya.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 12.5 mm. The basal two-fifths of the forewings is dark brown and the distal three-fifths greyish brown. There is a yellow spot at the distal one-third of the costal margin and an inconspicuous dark brown fascia from the costal three-fourth to near the tornus. The hindwings are greyish brown.

Etymology

The species name refers to the gnathos abruptly narrowed to sharp apex and is derived from Latin tenu- (meaning narrowed) and extremus (meaning apical).[3]

gollark: (including Discord)

gollark: It seems to be accessible in the UK, but I don't like them anyway for obvious privacy reasons, so I don't really care.

gollark: Not sure what that would do, but I imagine it would change things a lot.

gollark: > random musing: obviously if the speed of light was lower, there would be less energy in those sort of reactions. What *other* trickle down effects would it have, though?There's some relation between c and some electromagnetic constants (permittivity and permeability of free space) so you would probably change those too.

gollark: Somewhat relevant point: seriously just use nuclear it's energy dense enough.
