Udea profundalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Packard in 1873.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia, through Washington, Oregon and Nevada to California and Texas.[2] Records east of the Rocky Mountains, refer to Udea rubigalis.[3]

The length of the forewings is 8.5-12 mm.[4] Adults are deep ochreous-brown, the inner line on the forewings angulated outwards broadly on the median vein and inwards on the submedian. There is a large, round discal dot and a bell-shaped, reniform spot. The outer line is dark.[5] The hindwings are primarily white
