Eupithecia inepta is a moth in the family Geometridae, described by Prout in 1922. It is found on the Juan Fernandez Islands in Chile.[3] The habitat consists of the Northern Valdivian Forest Biotic Province.
The length of the forewings is about 10.5-11.5 mm for females. The forewings are white, with brown scaling along the costa and with scattered pale ochraceous scales, the latter forming a number of slender lines. The hindwings are concolorous with the forewings and have a similar pattern. Adults have been recorded on wing in March.
