Khoisa epicentra is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is found in South Africa. [1] [2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are light yellow ochreous irregularly sprinkled with fuscous and with a small fuscous spot in the disc at one-sixth. The stigmata are black, with the plical obliquely before the first discal, beyond which is an additional black dot in the middle of the disc, these three connected by a patch of fuscous suffusion, the second discal less defined, preceded by an additional undefined dark fuscous dot obliquely above it. There is a transverse patch of fuscous suffusion from the costa at two-thirds, reaching halfway across the wing and a series of blackish-fuscous dots around the posterior third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey. [3]
