Hypatima baliodes is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1920.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.[2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey-whitish, more or less mixed throughout with small fuscous blotches. There are about nine small fuscous spots on the costa throughout, the first basal, becoming obliquely fascia-like to the base of the dorsum and the third very distinct, continued obliquely inwards to the fold, more or less broken beneath the costa, broadest on the lower two-thirds. There are two or three short blackish dashes between this and the middle of the termen and one or two similar dashes on the fold beneath. A fine row of fuscous dots is found near and parallel to the termen. The hindwings are greyish, becoming fuscous-tinged posteriorly.[3]
