Epimactis turbida is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is 14-18 mm. The forewings are light fuscous with the costal edge ochreous-whitish and the dorsal area towards the base suffused with rather dark purplish-fuscous. The stigmata are dark-fuscous, the plical small, slightly beyond the first discal, the second discal rather large, connected with the dorsum by dark-purplish-fuscous suffusion, the terminal area beyond this more or less darker-suffused. There are some undefined cloudy-dark-fuscous spots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale-grey or whitish-grey.
