Haplochela trigonota is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911.[1] It is found in Mexico, Panama, Guyana and Brazil.[2]
The wingspan is 16–21 mm. The fore-wings are shining, fawn-ochreous, mottled with darker and paler shades of umber-brown, with some fuscous scaling at the base. There is a conspicuous flap of scales at the start of the cell and a large triangular patch on the middle of the costa, consisting of two shades of umber-brown, with some dark fuscous, preceded and followed by small costal spots of the same colour. Below it, towards the dorsum near to the base, are a few raised scales of umber-brown. The outer third of the wing, except towards the costa, is much shaded with umber-brown, mottled, especially along the termen, with dark fuscous. The hind-wings are grayish brown.[3]
