Epiblema glenni is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee.
The length of the forewings is 5-8.5 mm for males and 5.6-8.6 mm for females. The forewings are dark with a salmon interfascial spot at the middle of the dorsal margin. In females, this spot continues forward to the costa as a narrower band. In males, it is separated from the costal fold by a narrow strip of dark scales. There are one to three small black marks along the inner margin. Adults are on wing from late May to mid-September.
Etymology
