Hemiarcha macroplaca is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1893. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark-fawn colour with a black fascia, somewhat edged with white, from one-third of the costa, not reaching the inner margin, slightly dilated on the costa. There is a black spot at the base of the costa and a similar one beyond, both connected by a fine line along the costa. There is also a series of blackish dots along the apical-fourth of the costa, and continued along the costa around the hindmargin to the anal angle, the first three more conspicuous. A minute black dot is found on the inner margin at two-thirds, and a smaller one above, surmounted by a small white spot. The hindwings are dark-grey.[2]
