Tyspanodes hillalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Schaus in 1927. It is found in the Philippines (Luzon).

The wingspan is about 37 mm. The forewings are black with a primuline yellow spot at the base of the costa and cell, followed by a thick white line from the subcostal, downbent and excurved to the middle of the submedian vein, above it a large round antemedial white spot from within the cell to below the submedian. There is a small white spot at the middle of the cell, and a large round white spot over the discocellular area, this spot is larger than the antemedial spot. All the veins from the cell, and the outer half of the submedian are greyish white. The hindwings are black with a broad white fascia from the middle of the costa abruptly upbent to the base of the inner margin and expanding to near the anal angle, its outer edge sinuous at bend.
