Udea berberalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1918.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.[2]
The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are pale ocherous, sparsely dusted with fuscous and fairly distinct maculation. There is a single, black line with the prominent tooth in the cell and a slight inward bend in the submedian fold. The orbicular is a small round spot filled with the pale ground color and the reniform (kidney-shaped) is medium-sized, lunate and pale centered. There are four or five-minute dark costal spots between the reniform and the apex. There is a second single, dentate line with a large inward loop below the cell to the base of vein 2, as well as a terminal dotted line. The hindwings are pale and smoky with traces of a discal dot and a bent postmedian line, as well as a distinct terminal dotted line.[3]
