Eudonia rectilineata is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Wei-Chun Li, Hou-Hun Li and Matthias Nuss in 2012.[1] It is found in China (Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Sichuan).
The length of the forewings is 7–9.5 mm. The forewings are somewhat suffused with pale brown to blackish-brown scales. There is a blackish-brown stripe basally and the antemedian, postmedian and subterminal lines are white. The hindwings are white to pale brown.
Etymology[]
The species name refers to the forewing with posterior two thirds of the postmedian line straight and is derived from Latin rectus (meaning straight) and lineatus (meaning linear).[2]
