Hyposmocoma discella is a species of moth of the Cosmopterigidae family. It is endemic to Kauai. The type locality is Kaholuamano, where it was collected on an altitude of 4,000 feet.
The larvae probably feed on lichens on the bark of Cheirodendron and Metrosideros. The larva makes an irregular case of silk and frass encrusted with miscellaneous fragments, some of which are insect remains.
