Euchaetis crypsichroa is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Lower in 1893.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.[2]
The wingspan is about 26 mm (1.0 in). The forewings have a bright rosy line on the costa with the extreme costal edge whitish. There is a small fuscous spot on the base of the dorsum and the median area has a pale reddish suffusion. The markings are purple-fuscous. There is an oblique line from one-third of the costa expanding in the mid-disc to a large oblong spot extending on the margin from the mid-dorsum to near the tornus and there is a discal dot at two-thirds, as well as a finely serrate line from two-thirds of the costa obliquely to four-fifths, then vertical to the tornus. There is also a terminal line. The hindwings are grey.[3]
