Hyperochtha dischema is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Malawi.[1][2]

The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The forewings are rather dark slaty-grey sprinkled with whitish and with the base more or less suffused with blackish. There is a blackish transverse fascia at one-third, preceded on the costa by an elongate suffused ochreous-whitish mark and a round blackish spot representing the second discal stigma. There is an ochreous-whitish spot on the costa at three-fourths sending a slightly sinuate line to the tornus, edged anteriorly with blackish suffusion. The hindwings are grey.[3]
