Pexicopia euryanthes is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous. The markings are whitish-ochreous. There are two transversely placed confluent spots in the disc near the base and a broad rather irregular transverse fasciae at one-third and beyond the middle, the posterior edge of the second indented by a dark spot representing the second discal stigma. A triangular spot is found on the costa at four-fifths, and cloudy dot on the termen opposite. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex.[2]
