Eochrois holochra is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[2]

The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, the dots and slight irroration fuscous. The stigmata is minute or partly obsolete, the first discal dot is found at one-third, the plical beyond it and the second discal at three-fifths. There is a very fine outwardly oblique line from two-thirds of the costa, angled in the disc, and then subterminal to the tornus. The hindwings are whitish.[3]
