Eudonia pongalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by C. Felder, R. Felder and Rogenhofer in 1875. It is found in New Zealand.[1]
The wingspan is 15–19 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-grey, slightly tinged with ochreous and with a few scattered grey and black scales. The first line is indicated by a short cloudy blackish oblique streak from the inner margin. The costa is black from the base to beyond the middle. The second line is distinctly dark-margined. The hindwings are whitish in males and very pale whitish-grey in females. The postmedian line and hindmargin are very faintly greyer. Adults have been recorded on wing in March.[2]
