Epimactis pulsatella is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Bradley in 1961. It is found on Guadalcanal.

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white, with the anterior edge of the costa cream-buff and with a small, fuscous discal stigma a little above the middle at one-third, and a similar stigma obliquely below in the plical fold, and a third at the end of the cell at about the middle. A subterminal line of small, fuscous, interneural dots is found around the apex and along the termen. The hindwings are white.
