Hyperochtha butyropa is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Sri Lanka.^[1]

The wingspan is 14-17 mm. The forewings are rather dark purplish-fuscous with the basal area darker purplish-fuscous, its margin formed by an irregular line from two-fifths of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum. The stigmata are cloudy, blackish and indistinct, the first discal lying on the edge of this patch and the plical rather obliquely before it. There is a pale ochreous-yellowish dot on the costa at five-sixths. The hindwings are pale grey.^[2]
