Eudonia steropaea is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.[3] It was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884.[4][2] Meyrick gave a detailed description of this species in 1885.[5] It is endemic to New Zealand.[1]
The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, irrorated with darker. There is a small blackish spot at the base of the inner margin and a straight black streak from the base to somewhat before the middle of the disc, almost meeting a triangular blackish blotch. The first line is indicated by an angulated darker posterior margin. The second line is white. The hindwings are grey-whitish, the hindmargin somewhat suffused with darker. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.[5]
