Epicephala vitisidaea

Epicephala vitisidaea is a moth of the family Gracillariidae.

It is found in Fujian, China[2] and on the Ryukyu Archipelago.

The larvae feed on the seeds of Breynia vitis-idaea.

Eggs are placed in the interspace between the tepal and ovary, so the ovipositor does not penetrate floral tissue.
