Eriogenes cossoides is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Butler in 1882. It is found on the Moluccas, New Britain and Duke of York Island[2] and in mainland Australia (Queensland).[3]
The wingspan is 29-31 mm. The forewings are silvery white, with the basal two fifths more or less clouded with red-brown, the outer margin of the red-brown area inarched. There is an indistinct curved stripe of the same colour crossing the wing immediately beyond the cell and the costal margin and external border are also red-brown. The hindwings are smoky grey, with a white-tipped fringe.[4]
