Udea adversa is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1917.[2][3] It is endemic to New Zealand.[4]

The wingspan is 20–21 mm for males and females. The forewings are ferruginous, but brighter along the costa. There is an irregular transverse outwardly-oblique white discal dot at the middle and a dark, obscurely indicated second line. The hindwings are yellow with the discal dot and terminal band fuscous.[3]
