Hypatima nodifera is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930.[1] It is found in Vietnam.[2]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish fuscous with a fuscous streak along the costa from one-third to near the apex, posteriorly with four oblique fine whitish strigulae and a streak of undefined fuscous suffusion beneath the middle from the base to the apex. In this, on the end of the cell, is a small blackish spot edged laterally with oblique whitish marks and between this and the apex are two fine black lines. The plical and second discal stigmata are linear and black and there is a small whitish mark on the costa before the apex connected with the extremity of the fourth strigula. The hindwings are light grey, becoming hyaline towards the base and with the veins and apex suffused dark grey.[3]
