Atasthalistis hieropla is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1919.[1] It is found in Fiji.[2]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are purple blackish with a rather broad whitish-yellow streak just below the costa from the base, somewhat sinuate away from the costa beyond the middle, and terminating on the costa at three-fourths. Beyond this is a white marginal line running around the costa and termen to the tornus, twice interrupted on the costa. The hindwings are bright deep orange.[3]
