Spatulignatha hemichrysa is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Assam, India.[1]

The wingspan is 19–20 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous yellowish, irregularly sprinkled with dark fuscous and with the costal edge suffused with dark fuscous from the base to two-thirds. The discal stigmata are represented by small dark fuscous spots, the second lying on an oblique-transverse line of dark fuscous suffusion forming triangular suffused spots on the margins. Beyond this, all veins are marked with strong dark fuscous lines and there is a strong black line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey, tinged with pale yellowish towards the apex, the veins darker grey.[2]
