Gelechia epiphloea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are fuscous irregularly mixed with dark fuscous and ochreous-whitish. There are blackish spots on the costa at the base and before one-fourth, the space between and round these suffused with ochreous-whitish. There is a suffused blackish spot in the disc at one-fourth, and a short blackish streak on the fold before this. The stigmata are blackish, the plical rather before the first discal, the first discal followed by a more or less extended ochreous-whitish mark. There is a blackish spot on the costa at three-fourths, indistinctly connected with the second discal stigma, and followed by a rosy-ochreous-whitish spot, where an angulated series of undefined ochreous-whitish dots runs to the tornus. The hindwings are grey, somewhat darker posteriorly.[3]
