Epiphractis imbellis is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. This species was described from South Africa. [1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The head, palpi, thorax and abdomen are whitish. The forewings are elongate, the costa gently arched, ochreous-whitish with a brown-reddish dorsum near the base, a brown-reddish streak from one-fourth of the disc to two-thirds of the dorsum, posteriorly triangularly dilated below the middle and sending a branch to the lower angle of the cell. There is a triangular patch of scattered light brown-reddish suffusion resting on the termen, with a few dark fuscous scales, its apex indicating the second discal stigma. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish. [2]
