Hypercallia pyrarcha is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in India (Assam).[1]
The wingspan is 17-18 mm. The forewings are yellow, reticulated with orange-red and with the basal third of the costa orange-red with three oblique dark fuscous streaks. There are two fasciae of dark purplish-grey suffusion, the first median, dilated towards the dorsum so as to reach one-fourth and coalesce posteriorly with the second, the second is broad, terminal, and united with the first by a bar beneath the costa so as to enclose in the disc an orange-red roundish patch containing a yellow spot marked with a dark fuscous dot. The hindwings are grey, lighter anteriorly.[2]
