Epiborkhausenites

Epiborkhausenites is an extinct genus of moth in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae and containing a single species Epiborkhausenites obscurotrimaculatus. The species is known only from Middle Eocene, Bartonian stage,Baltic amber deposits near the town of Palanga in Lithuania.

Epiborkhausenites obscurotrimaculatus is known only from one fossil, the holotype, specimen "No. 16,8 IGUW/AWS". It is a single, mostly complete female, preserved as a three-dimensional fossil in transparent yellow amber. The 18×15×7 millimetres (0.71×0.59×0.28 in) amber specimen is from the fossiliferous Tyszkiewicz's Amber Mine which is located near the seaside town of Palanga. While the type description does not mention the geologic age of the amber, dating of the material based on the microfauna inclusions present gives a date of 37.7 mya. The type specimen is currently preserved in the Palaeozoological Laboratory amber collections housed in the University of Warsaw, located in Warsaw, Poland. Epiborkhausenites was first studied by Andrzej W. Skalski of , with his 1973 type description being published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. The generic name was coined by Skalski in reference to the similarity of the genus to the related genus Paraborkhausenites. The explanation for the specific epithet obscurotrimaculatus refers the three dark spots that are visible on the fore-wings.
