Eupselia iridizona is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are yellow with a broad purplish-fuscous hindmarginal patch occupying the posterior third of the wing, the anterior edge hardly straight, sinuate beneath the costa, then very slightly curved outwards to the inner margin. Near the anterior edge of the patch are two transverse lines of reddish-purple, not reaching either margin. A few black scales are found around the anal angle. The hindwings are dark fuscous, somewhat bronzy-tinged.[2]
