"Eustixia" is a monotypic moth genus of the Crambidae family described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. Its only species, "Eustixia pupula", the spotted peppergrass moth, described by the same author in the same publication, is found in North America from Massachusetts to Florida, west to Texas and north to Ontario.
