Epibrontis pallacopa is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]
The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish-yellow with a dark grey elongate-triangular blotch extending on the costa from one-fourth to the middle, the base posterior and reaching half across the wing. There is a small dark fuscous dash on the costa beyond this and a white irregular line along the apical fourth of the costa edged beneath by a dark fuscous streak. The hindwings are light greyish, in the disc whitish.[2]
