Epiphthora miarodes is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward 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 (0.55 in). 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]
