Hypercallia gnorisma is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala and Panama.¹

The wingspan is 20–21 mm. The forewings are yellowish, much suffused with fawn ochreous and reddish orange. A minute black dot on the cell, at one-third of the wing length, in a spot of the yellow ground colour, is followed by an oblique black spot at the end of the cell, an oblique dark fuscous dorsal shade, arising at one-fourth from the base, crosses the fold, and passes between the two black spots, blending with the fawn shading towards the costa, where a narrow dark fuscous shade occupies the middle of the margin between two equally narrow, elongate, white marginal spots, a third minute white spot occurring before the apex. The termen is somewhat shaded with fawn brownish, extending to one-half the length of the cilia, which along the middle of the termen are pale yellowish on their outer half. The hindwings are rich rosy grey, paler towards the base.²
