Eupselia philomorpha is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria. [1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous, with ochreous markings. There is a large somewhat cuneiform spot lying on the inner margin at the base, extending to beyond one-third, separated from the costa by a thick streak of ground colour. A large elongate-quadrate patch is found on the middle of the costa, extending more than half across the wing, the posterior edge faintly curved inwards. There is also a small subcostal spot before the apex and three roundish black spots on the lower two-thirds of the termen, the anterior edges yellowish, the posterior metallic purple. The hindwings are bright orange with some black scales along the base. [2]
