Hoplomorpha epicosma is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1916.^[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.^[2]

The wingspan is 14-16 mm. The forewings are whitish, the base of the costa dark fuscous and the costal edge grey, with a short, oblique mark at two-fifth and a large, dark fuscous blotch on the inner margin from one-fourth to three-fourth, attenuated anteriorly, reaching to the fold, its upper edge concave, angulated at each extremity of the concavity. Along its posterior edge is a leaden-fuscous line, surmounted by a leaden-fuscous dot in the disc at two-third. There is an outwardly curved, fuscous line from the costa at three-fourth to the anal angle, its anterior edge suffused with greenish-grey. Along its posterior edge is a narrow, white line not reaching to the anal angle and the apical area is purple fuscous, irrorated with leaden-fuscous scales. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish with the apical half fuscous.^[3]
