Hypatima disposita is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931.[1] It is found in Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are white with black markings. There is a dot on the base of the costa, a small spot on the base of the dorsum, a quadrate spot on the costa near the base with the lower angles projecting, an oblique mark in the disc beyond this, a dot beneath the costa before the middle and dots representing the stigmata, the discal approximated, a small spot between them, the plical slightly before the first discal. A short mark is found beneath the costa at two-thirds, and one just above the tornus. There is a dash towards the termen in the middle and some black scales and slight fuscous suffusion at the apex. The hindwings are light grey, suffused with whitish towards the base.[3]
