Lysipatha cyanoschista is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1926. It is found on New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are blackish with three ochreous-yellow oval spots in a transverse series in the disc at one-third, the lowest more elongate anteriorly. There is an elongate-oval deep ochreous-yellow blotch extending in the disc from before the middle to four-fifths, with two acute posterior projections touching the termen. There is also a fine yellowish terminal line. The hindwings are deep ochreous yellow with a blackish costal band, with a triangular projecting lobe towards the base, and a projecting bar on the end of the cell, as well as a narrow irregular blackish fascia from this along three-fourths of the termen, with a submedian triangular projection.[2]
