Euchaetis crypsichroa is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Lower in 1893. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.

The wingspan is about 26 mm (1.0 in). The forewings have a bright rosy line on the costa with the extreme costal edge whitish. There is a small fuscous spot on the base of the dorsum and the median area has a pale reddish suffusion. The markings are purple-fuscous. There is an oblique line from one-third of the costa expanding in the mid-disc to a large oblong spot extending on the margin from the mid-dorsum to near the tornus and there is a discal dot at two-thirds, as well as a finely serrate line from two-thirds of the costa obliquely to four-fifths, then vertical to the tornus. There is also a terminal line. The hindwings are grey.
