Its only species is Eulogia ochrifrontella, the broad-banded eulogia moth, described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1875.[1] It is found in most of North America, including British Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.[2]

The wingspan is 11–15 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July.

The larvae feed on Carya illinoinensis, Quercus and Malus species and possibly Amelanchier alnifolia.[3]
