Eunebristis gyralea is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922.[1] It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[2]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are deep purple with two red longitudinal lines beneath the costa from the base to one-third and two pairs of short fine orange-reddish lines in the disc beneath these. There are 8-shaped blotches irregularly and interruptedly outlined with ferruginous ochreous in the disc before and beyond the middle, the first connected by suffused marks with the costa and dorsum. There is a curved ferruginous-ochreous subterminal line traversed by four streaks on the veins and a ferruginous-ochreous marginal streak around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are blackish grey.[3]
