Hilarographa tetralina is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found on the Solomon Islands.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous with a reddish-orange subcostal streak from the base to one-third, and a median streak from the base about half as long. There are antemedian and postmedian reddish-orange transverse lines, rounded-angulated above the middle, terminating in two confluent yellow erect-triangular dorsal spots and there is a short oblique reddish-orange streak from the costa beyond these, as well as two posterior reddish-yellow lines parallel to the termen, terminated above by an oval reddish-orange blotch occupying the apical third of the costa and containing a whitish streak edged dark fuscous rising obliquely from costa at three-fourths and returning to it before the apex. This last line is very narrowly separated from a narrow reddish-orange fascia along the lower portion of the termen, containing four small round blackish spots. The hindwings are deep orange with a broad dark fuscous terminal fascia, broadest at the apex, rather projecting inwards on the submedian fold.[2]
