Epiphthora delochorda is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1918. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey-whitish with a narrow white streak along the costa, from one-quarter to three-quarters and a narrow white streak along the fold, obscured posteriorly. There is a fuscous outwardly oblique rather broad bar, from the dorsum at one-third to the termination of a white streak along the fold. The hindwings are grey, tinged with pale fuscous.
