Ephelictis neochalca is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]

The wingspan is 17–19 mm (0.67–0.75 in). The forewings are shining brassy-bronze with a rather narrow suffused white costal streak from near the base to three-fourths, extremities attenuated. The stigmata are small and black, with the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. The hindwings are grey.[2]
