Polyhymno conflicta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 10–13 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with cloudy white or whitish markings, consisting of a subcostal line on the basal half, a supramedian line to five-sixths, where it meets an attenuated streak from beneath the middle of the disc, and a confused and irregular more or less confluent suffusion occupying most of dorsal area up to the fold. There is a very oblique white line from the middle of the costa to near the termen above the middle and a white oblique strigula from the costa at three-fourths, where a fine acutely angulated leaden-metallic line runs to the tornus. There are two white wedge-shaped marks from the costa beyond this. The apical area is tinged with ochreous. The hindwings are light slaty grey.[2]
