Hypatima toreuta

Hypatima toreuta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919.^[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish, the markings and some scattered irroration fuscous. There is a small tuft of whitish scales on the costa at three-fourths and several tufts of raised scales towards the base, two of them larger, the first above the fold at one-fourth, the second beneath the fold beyond the first. A triangular blotch is found on the costa from one-fifth to three-fifths, its apex reaching to the fold. There is also a spot on the termen beyond the tornus, as well as an ill-defined subapical suffusion and a line of indistinct dots before and parallel to the termen. The hindwings are pale-grey, becoming whitish towards the base.^[3]
