Hypatima particulata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka and Java, Indonesia.[2]
The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are grey, irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish and with a series of small dark fuscous spots along the costa, one before the middle rather larger and elongate. There is an elongate dark fuscous mark on the fold at two-fifths of the wing and a small dark fuscous spot in the disc at three-fourths, as well as some brownish suffusion and irregular dark fuscous irroration towards the apex. The hindwings are dark grey, thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
