Hypatima tonsa

Hypatima tonsa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in Vietnam and Assam, India.[2]

The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are light brownish, faintly purplish tinged, sprinkled with fuscous and with a dark purplish-fuscous triangular blotch with indigo-blue reflections occupying nearly the median third of the costa, reaching more than halfway across the wing, edged anteriorly with whitish-ochreous suffusion. There is a small blackish dot on the fold at one-third of the wing, one towards the dorsum beyond this, one below the middle at two-thirds, and one obliquely beyond and above this. Some minute ill-defined blackish dots are found around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
