Eudonia epicremna is a moth in the family Crambidae.[3] It was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884.[4][2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[1][5]

The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are fuscous, mixed with yellow-ochreous. The median third is mixed with white and there is a small white basal spot, as well as a white spot on the costa near the base. The hindwings are fuscous-grey, the hindmargin suffused with dark fuscous. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.[6]

Adults of this species have been found on the slopes below the Coronet Peak ski field and larvae are present there on seepage mosses.[7]
