Hilarographa cirrhocosma is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found on the Solomon Islands.[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are deep reddish-orange, redder towards the apex with a light brassy-yellow streak along the basal two-fifths of the dorsum, a short median streak from the base, five oblique wedge-shaped spots or streaks from the costa (with the third very small) between the base and four-fifths, and a subquadrate costal blotch towards the apex closely followed by a small direct wedge-shaped spot extended over the cilia, these all separated by dark fuscous streaks which are connected with six sinuate blue-blackish lines crossing the wing between one-fourth and three-fourths. Another deep blue angulated line passes around the costal blotch and terminates in the subapical spot. There is a small whitish wedge-shaped spot edged dark fuscous on the subapical sinuation and there are two dark fuscous striae confluent into a spot above from before the apex of this spot to the tornus, as well as two round blackish dots before the termen about the middle. The hindwings are fulvous, beyond a curved dark fuscous subterminal streak reddish-orange.[2]
