Eupterote nigriceps is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1893.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka.
The wingspan is about 96 mm. The wings are brownish grey, the forewings with traces of some waved antemedial lines and with a hyaline speck at the end of the cell. There are five waved lines beyond the middle. The postmedial line is indistinct and the waved submarginal line sends out dark streaks along the veins to the postmedial line. The undulation between veins two and three is filled in by a dark brown blotch. The hindwings have four waved lines before the postmedial straight line, which is just beyond the middle and there is a waved submarginal line, which is remote from the margin.[2]
