Eudonia torniplagalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from South Dakota, the Rocky Mountains, the mountains of the south-western United States and from British Columbia to southern California.[2]
The length of the forewings is 8–12 mm. The antemedial line on the forewings is angled strongly outward, and there is usually a whitish shade, enclosed by both the antemedial and postmedial lines. Adults have been recorded on wing from July to August.[3]
