Hyperochtha butyropa is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1910. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm. The forewings are rather dark purplish fuscous with the basal area darker purplish fuscous, its margin formed by an irregular line from two-fifths of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum. The stigmata are cloudy, blackish and indistinct, the first discal lying on the edge of this patch and the plical rather obliquely before it. There is a pale ochreous-yellowish dot on the costa at five-sixths. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
