Hylograptis is a monotypic moth genus in the family Gelechiidae. Its only species, Hylograptis thryptica, is found in Australia [1] and New Guinea, where it has been recorded from Woodlark Island and Sariba Island.[2] Both the genus and the species were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1910.[3]
The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are rather light brown with a dark purplish-fuscous streak along the costa from the base to near the apex, suffused beneath with indigo bluish. Beneath this is a deep ferruginous supra-median streak from the base to three-fourths, and a similar rather shorter submedian streak. The terminal fourth is more or less suffused with purplish and bluish, crossed by a slightly curved deep ferruginous transverse streak at about five-sixths, mixed with black at the costal extremity and on the lower half. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[4]
