Hypatima xerophanta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Vietnam. The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous or pale ochreous partially tinged with yellowish, with the costal half sometimes with indistinct pale brownish streaks. There is a narrow streak of fuscous suffusion along the costa from before the middle to three-fourths, as well as a brownish or fuscous oval spot in the disc before the middle, accompanied by some raised scales, and a smaller more indistinct or yellowish similar spot on the end of the cell, with a few black or dark fuscous scales towards the costa beyond this. The hindwings are grey, lighter towards the base.
