Haplochela trigonota is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.

[1] It is found in Mexico, Panama, Guyana and Brazil.

The fore-wings are shining, fawn-ochreous, mottled with darker and paler shades of umber-brown, with some fuscous scaling at the base.

There is a conspicuous flap of scales at the start of the cell and a large triangular patch on the middle of the costa, consisting of two shades of umber-brown, with some dark fuscous, preceded and followed by small costal spots of the same colour.

The outer third of the wing, except towards the costa, is much shaded with umber-brown, mottled, especially along the termen, with dark fuscous.
