Epipagis forsythae, Forsyth's epipagis moth, is a moth in the Crambidae family.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida.[2]
The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are brown with white markings in the antemedial, median and subterminal areas. There is a dark postmedial line which widens into a broad base at the inner margin. There is also a small white patch beyond the postmedial line at the anal angle. The hindwings are mostly white with two or three dark discal spots, as well as a dark shade in the triangular area across the apex.[3]
