Eoophyla platyxantha is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by David John Lawrence Agassiz in 2012.[1] It is found in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm. The forewings are white with a pale yellow antemedian fascia and a fuscous spot on the costa. The base of the hindwings is white with a yellow antemedian fascia and a white median area, as well as an orange-yellow postmedian fascia.
The species name refers to the hindwing markings and is derived from Greek platus (meaning broad) and xanthos (meaning yellow).[3]
