Cryptolechia epidesma is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1912.[1] It is found in Mexico to Guyana.[2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous with a narrow irregular-edged pale whitish-yellowish streak along the costa from the base to near the apex, the costal edge sprinkled with black towards the base. There is a slightly waved yellow-whitish line along the termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
