Eochrois sarcoxantha 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 New South Wales and Victoria.[2]
The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are leaden-grey with a pink costal streak and the extreme costal edge whitish. There is a whitish-ochreous basal spot and an irregular, whitish-ochreous blotch reticulated with reddish-ochreous, extending from near the base of the dorsum as a broad streak roughly parallel to the costa as far as the middle. There is also a dark fuscous circular spot beneath this before the middle of the disc and two dark fuscous spots edged with whitish-ochreous placed transversely in the disc beyond the middle, as well as a whitish-ochreous, subapical blotch traversed by an interrupted, reddish-ochreous, obliquely transverse line. The hindwings are ochreous.[3]
