Hypatima sphenophora

Hypatima sphenophora is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are ochreous whitish irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with fuscous and with a blackish dot at the base of the costa, and one beneath the costa near the base. There is an indistinct dark fuscous spot on the dorsum at one-fourth and a narrow elongate blackish-fuscous blotch along the costa from about one-fifth to two-thirds, the lower edge irregularly dilated above the middle of the disc. A small black dot is found on the fold beneath the dilation, and another near the tornus and there is a black streak in the disc from three-fifths to the apex, usually once or twice interrupted. The hindwings are fuscous, thinly scaled and semitransparent anteriorly.[3]
