Dysschema eurocilia is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1777. It is a common species throughout tropical America,[1] where it has been recorded from the Antilles, Central America (including Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala) and South America (including Paraguay, Brazil, Suriname, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador).[2]

It is a highly variable species, especially the females.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Vernonia species and Lepidaploa canescens.
