Hypercallia argyropa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Peru.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous in males, suffusedly irrorated with crimson-brownish. In females, the forewings are reddish-brown largely suffused with grey. There is a small whitish-yellowish basal spot or mark not reaching the margins and an indistinct pale ochreous spot on the costa at one-fourth. In males, there are obscure markings of light grey suffusion: a subbasal fascia, a spot on the costa before the middle, a triangular patch on the costa about two-thirds, where a streak runs to the middle of the dorsum and a line to the tornus, and a narrow streak along the termen, but in females all these are merged in the general grey suffusion. The hindwings are light yellow, in females deeper posteriorly.[2]
