Hypatima demonstrata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1920.[1] It is found in New Guinea, where it has been recorded from the Kei Islands.[2]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous speckled whitish, somewhat sprinkled darker fuscous and with a large dark fuscous rounded-triangular blotch on the middle of the costa, reaching more than half across the wing. There is a slight dark fuscous strigula beneath the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are violet-blue-hyaline, with the veins and termen irregularly suffused grey and the apical third grey.[3]
