Pexicopia epactaea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.[1]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are pale brownish-ochreous, irregularly irrorated and partially suffused with dark fuscous, especially towards the dorsum and posteriorly. There is a spot of whitish-ochreous suffusion beneath the costa near the base. The stigmata are dark fuscous, very obscure, the plical beneath the first discal, the second discal more distinct, partially surrounded with whitish-ochreous suffusion. The hindwings are fuscous, paler anteriorly.[2]
