Ironopolia ebenosticta is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey with blackish dots and a few scattered scales. The first discal spot is found at one-fourth, the plical beyond it and the second discal at the middle. There is a dot on three-fourths of the dorsum and the second discal is connected by a line of dots with one-third of the costa, and by another line with three-fourths of the dorsum. There is also a fine partly interrupted line from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, indented beneath the costa and in the middle and there is a terminal series of dots. The hindwings are grey.[3]
