Eoophyla ceratucha is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1894. It is found on Borneo, Sumatra and Java.[1]

The forewings are shining white with a fuscous costal streak from the base to the middle. There is a broad ochreous-yellow dorsal streak from the base to the anal angle, enclosing a narrow fuscous dorsal streak towards the middle. There is a fuscous triangular blotch on the costa beyond the middle, as well as a yellow-ochreous streak, suffused with fuscous posteriorly. The hindwings are ochreous-yellow with a white fuscous-edged fascia before the middle, a white fascia beyond the middle, edged anteriorly with fuscous and posteriorly with black.[2]
