Hypatima improba is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. [1] It is found in Mpumalanga, South Africa. [2]
The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are light brownish, suffusedly mixed with grey and the base narrowly dark grey sprinkled with black, dilated towards the costa. There is a triangular patch of blackish suffusion extending on the costa from one-fourth to the middle and reaching two-thirds of the way across the wing. Two superimposed incomplete rings of black scales are found in the disc at three-fourths, the upper very indistinct and there is also a series of small indistinct spots of blackish irroration (sprinkles) around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey. [3]
