Trigonoorda gavisalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1869. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales[1] and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are orange with a red base and purple wingtips.
The larvae feed on the leaves of mistletoe species. Pupation takes place in a frass-covered cocoon, made in a rolled leaf tip of the host plant.[2]
