Eudonia trivirgatus is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by C. Felder, R. Felder and Rogenhofer in 1875. It is found in New Zealand.[1]

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.[2]
