Epimactis talantias is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka[1] and Taiwan.

The wingspan is 14–19 mm. The forewings are white, in males thinly and in females more closely irrorated with fine fuscous or pale fuscous specks. The stigmata are black, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a row of black dots immediately before the margin around the apical portion of the costa and termen to the tornus. The hindwings are grey-whitish, the apex slightly greyer.[2]
