Eutorna spintherias is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria and Tasmania.[1]
The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are ferruginous-ochreous, in males suffused with brown posteriorly except on a median streak, in females wholly suffused with dark brown on the posterior half. The markings in males are silvery-white, partly edged with blackish, in females bright silvery-metallic, suffusedly edged with dark fuscous. A median longitudinal streak is found from the base to the middle, in males edged beneath by a blackish-fuscous streak from near the base to beyond the middle and there is a slender oblique streak from the costa before the middle to three-fifths of the disc, in females continued along the costa to the base. There is a transverse-oval spot in the disc at two-third. There is a subtriangular spot on the costa before three-fourths, as well as an irregular suffused apical spot. The hindwings are grey, becoming darker posteriorly.[2]
