Eumetriochroa hiranoi is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Japan ( Honshū and the Ryukyu islands) [2] and China ( Jiangxi). [3]
The wingspan is 4.6-6.1 mm. This species appears very similar to Eumetriochroa kalopanacis but can be distinguished by from the latter by differences in the genital structures. [1]
