Sarotorna epipona is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 16-18 mm. The forewings are grey with dark fuscous markings. There is a slender transverse sub-basal fascia and a transverse wedge from the mid-dorsum moderately broad at the base, narrowing to an apex just below one-third of the costa. There is also a moderate fascia from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, suffused at the extremities. The hindwings are grey.[2]
