Eumetriochroa hiranoi is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Japan (Honshū and the Ryukyu islands) and China (Jiangxi).[2][3] It was named in honor of Nagao Hirano.[1]
The wingspan is 4.6–6.1 mm. This species appears very similar to Eumetriochroa kalopanacis but can be distinguished from the latter by differences in the genital structures.[1] The larvae feed on Styrax japonicus. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[1][4]
