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]
