Eudonia trivirgatus is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It was first described by Cajetan Felder, Rudolf Felder and Alois Friedrich Rogenhofer in 1875 as Crambus trivirgatus.[2][3] It is endemic to New Zealand.[4][5]

The wingspan is 16–23 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, the veins lined with white. There is a blackish-fuscous median streak from the base to the apex, interrupted by a narrow bar before the middle. There is also a blackish-fuscous longitudinal wedge-shaped mark above the anal angle and usually a hindmarginal row of cloudy blackish dots. The hindwings are grey whitish in males and whitish grey in females. Adults have been recorded on wing in December, February and March.[6]
