Wikipedia Abstract

Hypatima iophana is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia (Java). The wingspan is 14-16 mm. The forewings are brownish mixed with grey and raised whitish scales, strewn with irregular black longitudinal marks on the veins. There are some irregular tufts of scales, especially a large tuft in the disc at two-fifths. There is a triangular blackish blotch occupying the median third of the costa, and reaching two-thirds across the wing. The hindwings are fuscous, thinly scaled and subhyaline anteriorly, with strong violet-blue iridescence and with the veins, apical area, and termen suffused with dark fuscous.
