Hypatima particulata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Sri Lanka and Indonesia (Java).

The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are grey, irrorated with whitish and with a series of small dark fuscous spots along the costa, one before the middle rather larger and elongate. There is an elongate dark fuscous mark on the fold at two-fifths of the wing and a small dark fuscous spot in the disc at three-fourths, as well as some brownish suffusion and irregular dark fuscous irroration towards the apex. The hindwings are dark grey, thinly scaled anteriorly.
