Epiphthora cryolopha is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous, the veins broadly suffused with white so as almost to obscure the groundcolour. There is a broad white costal streak, occupying two-fifths of the wing, from the base to near the apex, narrowed posteriorly, the lower edge straight. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
