Epichostis leucorma is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 20-22 mm. The forewings are rather dark ochreous-brown with the stigmata dark fuscous, the first sometimes connected with the dorsum by an undefined oblique triangular patch of dark fuscous suffusion. There are a few whitish scales towards the costa and the dorsum about the middle. There is also a subterminal series of seven cloudy white marks, the central and dorsal rather elongated inwards, and a terminal series of six similar marks. The hindwings are grey or dark grey.[2]
