Epiphthora cryolopha is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia , where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are greyish ochreous, the veins broadly suffused with white so as almost to obscure the ground colour. There is a broad white costal streak, occupying two-fifths of the wing, from the base to near the apex, narrowed posteriorly, the lower edge straight. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
