Eulechria zophoessa is a moth of the family Oecophoridae.[1] It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883.[2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[3] The classification of New Zealand endemic moths within the genus Eulechria is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[3] As such this species is currently also known as Eulechria (s.l.) zophoessa.[1]
