Ernolatia moorei is a moth in the family Bombycidae first described by Thomas Hutton in 1865. It is found in Sri Lanka, India, southern China, Borneo[1] and Taiwan.

The wingspan is 30–35 mm.[2]

The larvae feed on the leaves of Ficus superba. They have a greyish-brown body and a white head. They reach a length of 4.4 mm when full grown.[3] Pupation takes place in a pale brown pupa, enclosed in a dark brown cocoon spun in the leaves of the host plant.
