Eudonia leucophthalma is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1929. [1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia and Alberta to Washington and California. [2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. Adults are similar to Eudonia echo , but smaller and the dark shadings are more olivaceous and denser (not grey). The lines are narrowed and contrasting whitish. The reniform spot is Y-shaped with a small white speck on the lower side. [3] Adults have been recorded on wing from May to September.

<i>Eudonia</i> Genus of moths

Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
