Hypatima isoptila is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka.[2]
The wingspan is 16-21 mm. The forewings are fuscous, much mixed and suffused with white, with some scattered dark fuscous scales, and small tufts of raised scales. There is a blackish dash near the base above the middle and a streak of blackish irroration along the basal fourth of the dorsum, as well as a very irregularly triangular dark fuscous blotch mixed with blackish occupying the median third of the costa and reaching half across the wing. There is a rather inwardly oblique narrow streak of dark fuscous suffusion from the tornus reaching more than half across the wing, and a spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the costa beyond this. A slender dark fuscous streak runs along the termen. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline anteriorly, with the veins, apical area and termen suffused with dark fuscous.[3]
