Hypatima deviella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. [1] It is found in Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India (the Andaman Islands), on Borneo, Java and Sulawesi, as well as in Australia ( Queensland). [2]
Adults are cinereous whitish, the forewings with thirteen black points, three near the base, four placed quadrately in the interior disc, three forming a more distinct cluster in the exterior disc and three on the exterior border. Of these last, the middle one is much larger than the others. There is a fawn-coloured streak along the middle part of the costa. [3]
