Choreutis tomicodes is a moth in the Choreutidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found on the Solomon Islands.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. Adults are similar to Choreutis cyanotoxa, but differs in the absence of the detached dorsal segment of the second blue line of the forewings, which ends at two-thirds from the costa and is connected with the dorsum by a zigzag black line not found in cyanotoxa. Both blue lines are terminated on the costal edge with whitish and the blue discal mark touches the second blue line with its lower end.[2]
