Hilarographa cirrhocosma is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found on the Solomon Islands.
The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are deep reddish-orange, redder towards the apex with a light brassy-yellow streak along the basal two-fifths of the dorsum, a short median streak from the base, five oblique wedge-shaped spots or streaks from the costa (with the third very small) between the base and four-fifths, and a subquadrate costal blotch towards the apex closely followed by a small direct wedge-shaped spot extended over the cilia, these all separated by dark fuscous streaks which are connected with six sinuate (wavy) blue-blackish lines crossing the wing between one-fourth and three-fourths. Another deep blue angulated line passes around the costal blotch and terminates in the subapical spot. There is a small whitish wedge-shaped spot edged dark fuscous on the subapical sinuation and there are two dark fuscous striae (stripes) confluent into a spot above from before the apex of this spot to the tornus, as well as two round blackish dots before the termen about the middle. The hindwings are fulvous (tawny coloured), beyond a curved dark fuscous subterminal streak reddish-orange.
