Hypatima orthostathma is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are grey, closely and suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with white, slightly tinged yellowish in places and with a brownish streak along the basal fourth of the costa with some blackish scales. There is a black dot on the dorsum at one-fourth and a semi-oval blackish spot on the middle of the costa, preceded and followed by slight blackish marks. There is also a direct transverse blackish fasciate streak from the dorsum beneath this, not reaching it and a small dark grey spot on the costa at two-thirds, a black longitudinal sometimes interrupted strigula in the disc at three-fourths and some greyish suffusion towards the termen, and two or three slight blackish marks. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
