Eudonia synapta is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1885. It is found in New Zealand[1] and Australia.[2]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white, sprinkled with ochreous-brown and black. The basal area is ochreous-brown, suffused with black and cut by a narrow white transverse line midway between the base and the first line. This first line is margined by black posteriorly, except in the middle. The second line is black-margined anteriorly. The hindwings are grey, but the apex and hindmargin are darker. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[3]
