Wikipedia Abstract

Hypatima arignota is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in India (Assam), Burma, Thailand and possibly Taiwan. The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white, on the dorsal half irregularly tinged or sprinkled with light greyish and with a black mark on the base of the costa, and a dot towards the base above the middle. A triangular blackish blotch extends on the costa from one-fourth to three-fourth and reaches more than half across wing, both the costal angles cut off by fine white strigulae, from its posterior angle a straight light greyish-ochreous streak runs near the costa to the apex, edged above on its median portion by an elongate black costal mark. There are two minute black specks longitudinally placed in the disc be
