Epiphthora miarodes 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 Tasmania and New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish, thinly sprinkled with fuscous and with minute black dots beneath the costa at one-sixth and one-third, and beneath the fold at one-fifth and two-fifths. There is a row of scattered black scales in the disc above the middle from beyond the middle to three-fourths and the apex is suffused with rather dark fuscous. The hindwings are grey.[2]
