Eochrois cuphosema is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with slender fuscous markings and an oblique line from two-fifths of the costa half across the wing and an oblique line from two-thirds of the costa, angled inwards beneath the middle to two-thirds of the dorsum. There is also an irregularly dentate subterminal line and an interrupted terminal line. The hindwings are whitish.[3]
