Eudonia sabulosellus is a moth in the Crambidae family.[1] It was first described by Francis Walker under the name Crambus sabulosellus in 1863.[2][3] It is endemic to New Zealand.[4][5]

The wingspan is 20–22 mm. The forewings are pale greyish ochreous, irrorated (sprinkled) with white along the costa and on the dorsal half. There is a suffused blackish streak from the base along the submedian fold to the middle. The hindwings are grey whitish, tinged with ochreous. Adults have been recorded on wing in December and January.[6]
