Leptocroca variabilis is a moth of the family Oecophoridae first described by Alfred Philpott in 1926.[2][3] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1] The classification of this moth within the genus Leptocroca is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[4] As such this species is currently also known as Leptocroca (s.l.) variabilis.[2]
