Antipterna homopasta is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1932 as Periallactis homopasta.[1][2] The species epithet, homopasta, derives from the Greek, όμοπαστος ("uniformly sprinkled").[2] The male holotype for Periallactis homopasta was collected at Crows Nest in Queensland.[1]
