Hypatima triannulata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. [1] It is found in Cameroon, Kenya, Mozambique and the South African provinces of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Eastern Cape. [2]
The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous somewhat mixed with pale ochreous and slightly sprinkled with grey. The costal edge is suffused with blackish irroration (sprinkles) from the base to two-thirds, with a flattened-triangular blackish spot in the middle of the costa. There is a black dot beneath the costa near the base and the stigmata are black, the discal remote, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is also a blackish spot on the dorsum before the tornus, connected with the second discal stigma by a short outwardly oblique streak of blackish irroration. There are some groups of a few blackish scales around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly. [3]
