Hylograptis thryptica is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910.[1] It is found in Australia[2] and New Guinea, where it has been recorded from Woodlark Island and Sariba Island.[3]

The wingspan is 18-19 mm. The forewings are rather light brown with a dark purplish-fuscous streak along the costa from the base to near the apex, suffused beneath with indigo-bluish. Beneath this is a deep ferruginous supra-median streak from the base to three-fourths, and a similar rather shorter submedian streak. The terminal fourth is more or less suffused with purplish and bluish, crossed by a slightly curved deep ferruginous transverse streak at about five-sixth, mixed with black at the costal extremity and on the lower half. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[4]
