Tonica gypsopis is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928.^[1] It is found on India's Andaman Islands.^[2]

The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are white, mostly suffused with pale grey except towards the base, the costa and termen. The veins towards the costa are posteriorly partly marked with very fine black lines and there is a short dark grey streak from the base of the costa, and a costal mark at one-sixth, as well as a dash of dark grey sprinkles just beneath the costa in the middle. The plical and second discal stigmata are marked by white tufts mixed with dark grey. There is an angulated subterminal line formed of cloudy grey spots, as well as three or four suffused dark grey spots on the costa posteriorly, and four smaller on the termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.^[3]
