Eudonia cavata is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Li, Li and Nuss in 2012. It is found in China (Hebei[1], Henan, Guizhou).
The length of the forewings is 6.5–7 mm. The forewings are covered with blackish brown scales. The antemedian, postmedian and subterminal lines are white. The hindwings are white, sparsely suffused with pale brown scales.
The species name refers to the apex of the uncus with an ovate hatch in the male genitalia and is derived from Latin cavatus (meaning cavelike).[2]
