The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (LepIndex) is a searchable database maintained by the Department of Entomology at the Natural History Museum, London. It is based on card indices and scanned journals, nomenclatural catalogues and the Zoological Record. It contains most of world's Lepidoptera names published until 1981 and for some groups is up to date. As of May 2023, the site reads "Database last updated January 2018" so the current validity of the taxonomic combinations presented should be adopted with caution.
Ephoria is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae. It was previously known as Colabata, as a result of Herrich-Schäffer's Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum—in which Ephoria was introduced—having been published twice. The earlier of these publications precedes that of Walker's Colabata in 1856, making the latter the junior synonym.

It was first described by Max Wilhelm Karl Draudt in 1929 based on a female specimen from the collection of Otto Staudinger held by the Natural History Museum, Berlin. The location where the type specimen was collected is unknown, and the species therefore has no type locality.
