Pexicopia euryanthes is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous. The markings are whitish-ochreous. There are two transversely placed confluent spots in the disc near the base and a broad rather irregular transverse fasciae at one-third and beyond the middle, the posterior edge of the second indented by a dark spot representing the second discal stigma. A triangular spot is found on the costa at four-fifths, and cloudy dot on the termen opposite. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex.
