Hoplomorpha caminodes is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1916.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is 13–15 mm. The forewings are pale reddish ochreous, darker towards the costa and with a dark reddish dorsal streak, edged with whitish, from one-fifth to four-fifths, abruptly truncated posteriorly. A fuscous spot, indented posteriorly, is found before the tornus, from this a reddish-ochreous suffusion containing two minute fuscous dots extends more than halfway across the disc beyond the middle, and is preceded by a whitish dot. There is a short, outwardly oblique, reddish-ochreous streak from three-fourths of the costa and an interrupted, fuscous line from beneath the costa to the termen above the tornus. There is also a fine, fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are dark grey, towards the base ochreous whitish.[3]
