Hypatima scopulosa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in southern India.[2]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are brown irregularly mixed with fuscous and sprinkled with whitish and with a small darker brown basal patch, and two small spots transversely placed in the disc beyond this. There is a suffused dark grey triangular blotch occupying the median third of the costa and reaching two-thirds of the way across the wing, its apical portion with several irregular black marks. There is also a short black mark resting on the termen in the middle. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly, darker towards the apex and termen.[3]
