Pelochrista dilatana is a species of tortricid moth in the tribe Eucosmini, first described by Walsingham in 1895. The genus Pelochrista comprises numerous small moth species, many of which are poorly documented in terms of biology and ecology. This species belongs to a diverse group of tortricids commonly referred to as shoot borers or fruit borers, though specific life history details for P. dilatana remain limited in published literature.
