Enchocrates glaucopis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1883. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the south-east of the country.[1]
The wingspan is 15-22 mm. The forewings are fuscous-grey, the margins narrowly dark fuscous and with the costal edge, hindmarginal edge, and all veins marked by bright carmine lines. There is a very ill-defined straight oblique cloudy dark grey transverse line from the middle of the costa to the inner margin at two-thirds. There is also a very ill-defined roundish pale yellow spot on middle of the inner margin, anteriorly or wholly carmine-tinged, margined anteriorly by the transverse dark grey line. There is a round suffused blackish-grey spot on the inner margin at four-fifths, in some specimens very conspicuous, in others absent. There is also an indistinct dark fuscous dot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are grey-whitish in males and grey, but paler towards the base in females.[2]
