Epiphthora delochorda is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1918. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey whitish with a narrow white streak along the costa, from one-quarter to three-quarters and a narrow white streak along the fold, obscured posteriorly. There is a fuscous outwardly oblique rather broad bar, from the dorsum at one-third to the termination of a white streak along the fold. The hindwings are grey, tinged with pale fuscous.[2]
