Hypatima triannulata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911.[1] It is found in Cameroon, Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa (Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Eastern Cape).[2]
The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous somewhat mixed with pale ochreous and slightly sprinkled with grey. The costal edge is suffused with blackish irroration from the base to two-thirds, with a flattened-triangular blackish spot in the middle of the costa. There is a black dot beneath the costa near the base and the sitgmata are black, the discal remote, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is also a blackish spot on the dorsum before the tornus, connected with the second discal stigma by a short outwardly oblique streak of blackish irroration. There are some groups of a few blackish scales around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
