Clepsimacha is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Clepsimacha eriocrossa, which is found in Taiwan.
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy fuscous, with the bases of the scales pale, forming a very fine transverse striolation. The stigmata form small obscure dark fuscous spots, the plical somewhat obliquely before first the discal, an additional spot above the fold midway between the first discal and the base. There is a spot of dark suffusion before the abrupt origin of the costal cilia, followed by a fine direct bar of white suffusion, three inwards-oblique suffused white marks from the costa beyond this, a small suffused white spot immediately preceding the blackish apical edge, and three cloudy whitish dots on the termen. The hindwings are rather dark fuscous.
