Eppihus hippeus is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in India (Jammu and Kashmir).

The wingspan is about 9 millimetres (0.35 in). The ground colour of the forewings is whitish, hardly tinged pinkish cream terminally and strongly suffused with brownish-grey and strigulated with brownish in the basal half of the wing. The hindwings are pale brownish-grey, but dirty cream in the terminal third where it is also strigulated with brownish grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the heavily armed valve and is derived from Latin hippeus (meaning knight).[2]

gollark: The UK appears to be doing worryingly little and is not doing well on testing.
