Epimactis talantias is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka and Taiwan.

The wingspan is 14–19 mm. The forewings are white, in males thinly and in females more closely irrorated (sprinkled) with fine fuscous or pale fuscous specks.

The hindwings are grey whitish, the apex slightly greyer.
