Eucosma abstemia is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family.[2][3][4][5] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Colorado, Arizona and California.[6]
The wingspan is 26-30 mm. The forewings are greyish white, dusted with ashy-greyish-ochreous and fuscous scales, giving the entire wing an ochreous-grey or pale fuscous-grey appearance. The markings are faint without a distinct basal patch, but in unrubbed specimens a fuscous clouding at the base of the cell. There is an arc of similar but very faint dark shading from the middle of the costa, touching the upper outer angle of the cell and extending to the apex. At apex, there is a large pale, but distinctly ochreous-fuscous spot. The basal third of the costa is dark fuscous. The hindwings are pale smoky fuscous.[7] Adults have been recorded in July and August.
