Epimimastis tegminata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous with the plical and first discal stigmata blackish, the plical rather posterior. There are three or four cloudy wedge-shaped blackish marks on the posterior half of the costa and a terminal streak of blackish irroration (sprinkles), including a fine whitish line just before the margin. The hindwings are grey, with the veins darker, towards the base thinly scaled and on the dorsum tinged with pale yellowish.[2]
