Epinotia tenebrica is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Ecuador (Morona-Santiago Province).

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous cream sprinkled and suffused with brownish except for the dorsal area, where the costal strigulae are cream interrupted with brown.

Etymology

The species name refers to colouration of the forewings and is derived from Latin tenebricus (meaning darkened).[2]
