Eumetriochroa aethalota is a species of moth of the family Gracillariidae, known from New Zealand.[2] This species was originally described by Edward Meyrick in 1880.[3] In 2019 Robert Hoare proposed that this species be provisionally assigned to the genus Eumetriochroa.[1] However as this proposal needs further investigation this species is also currently known as Eumetriochroa (s.l.) aetholata.[1]
The larval host plants are species in the genus Parsonsia including Parsonsia capsularis and Parsonsia heterophylla.[1][4] The larvae mine both the stems and leaves of these plants.[1]
