Hypatima tetraptila is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. [1] It is found in the South African provinces of Gauteng and Limpopo. [2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are light grey mixed with whitish, with some scattered blackish scales, as well as several small blackish-grey spots on the basal fourth. There is a blackish-grey trapezoidal blotch in the disk before the middle, broadest beneath, preceded by some brownish suffusion. An irregular dark fuscous spot extends along the costa from one-fourth to the middle almost confluent with this. The apical two-fifths of the wing are irregularly marked with grey, suffusedly mixed with blackish, with a more defined dark spot on the costa at four-fifths, and a black mark at the apex. The hindwings are grey, paler towards the base. [3]
