Eratophyes is a genus of moths in the Oecophoridae family. It contains only one species, Eratophyes amasiella, which is found in Asia Minor, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.[1] It was first recorded in Belgium in 2004. The species was probably accidentally introduced in western Europe, most likely as a caterpillar or pupa, with logs.
The wingspan is 12.5–16 mm.[2][3] Adults are on wing from late April to June.[4]
