Epiphthora leucomichla is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Tasmania and New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is 14–15 mm (0.55–0.59 in). The forewings are shining white, with some scattered fuscous or dark fuscous scales and an outwardly oblique bar from the middle of the dorsum reaching half across the wing, a spot on the tornus, a spot on the costa at three-fourths, and an ochreous-fuscous terminal suffusion towards the apex, or indicated by dark fuscous irroration only. The hindwings are grey.[2]
